Classic poster for A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH (1946), a film every cinema lover should know. It’s 104 minutes of pure magic from writer-directors Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger - helped hugely by Jack Cardiff’s beautiful cinematography.

-miraculously people know the lyrics, music & steps to spontaneous singing & dancing
-a silent, solemn man deals with hilarious slings & arrows in a stoic manner
-written, produced & directed by an Englishman & a mild-mannered Austro-Hungarian emigre
1/2
What are your top 5 movie genres? Mine are:

- transporting high-stakes consignment over dangerous terrain
- doomed detectives
- guy shows up at your house, maybe steals your identity
- square guy/gal has to cover up grisly murder
- ends in despair on beach, as there's nowhere else to go

The room is

Almost none

Pretty much

So there’s no

after 25 years I finally figured out the formula for writing a good poem: you just say what you want to say, cut all the boring stuff, thwack it with a thesaurus, then you grow wings out of your back, oh no they’re bat wings, oh god will your loved ones still love you, time to fly to the moon

5. ‘A Matter of Life and Death’ (P&P, 1946)

“Where were you born?
“Boston.”
“Mass.?”
“Yes.”
“That’s a place to be born. History was made there. Are you in love with anybody? No. No, don’t answer that.”
“I could love a man like you, Peter.”
“I love you, June. You’re life, and I’m leaving you.”
