Film Description

Rightly acclaimed as one of the great films in the history of British cinema. This film fully realises Powell's vision of complete art. He combines music, art and cinema in a work of such beauty and intelligence that it caused Scorsese to name it as one of the five greatest films ever made. A work that really stands the test of time and keeps improving with subsequent viewings.

Review by Clinton Morgan on 4th March 2000
