A Matter of Life and Death
Θρυλική, φοβερή ρομαντική ταινία
Μέσα σ’ένα κατεστραμμένο βομβαρδιστικό αεροπλάνο που ανά πάσα στιγμή θα αρχίσει να πέφτει και με το αλεξίπτωτό του σε αχρηστία, ένας πιλότος συμβιβάζεται με τον επερχόμενο θάνατό του κι επικοινωνεί μέσω ασυρμάτου με το κέντρο για να ζητήσει ν’αποχαιρετήσουν τη μητέρα του και τους ανθρώπους που τον αγαπούν εκ μέρους του. Στην άλλη πλευρά της γραμμής βρίσκεται μία κοπέλα που συγκινείται από την ιστορία του και οι δυο τους μοιράζονται έντονα συναισθήματα. Σχεδόν ερωτεύονται.

The decision to make all of the fantasy sequences black and white while the "real life" sequences are technicolor speaks so much to the unorthodox philosophy of this movie. The afterlife may not be such a bad place, but there's something more appealing, more romantic about the fleeting, the evanescent, the malleable. Eternity is static (everyone dead is wearing the uniform in which they died, clinging to the beliefs with which they died), while on earth there is love, sadness, hope, grief, learning, growing, drama, etc. The afterlife isn't necessarily heaven. Heaven is love, so choose life.There's no way to approach this movie that doesn't find it an unmitigated success. It's wonderfully romantic. It's hilarious and entertaining. It's a fantasy spectacle with jaw dropping analog effects. It's a post-war curative that inspires patriotism and a spirit of cooperation. This is one of the best movies.
One of the greatest moments in all of cinema is when Marius Goring looks at the camera and says “one is starved for technicolor up there.”
It follows a British wartime pilot who survives a plane crash against the odds and subsequently finds himself caught in a metaphysical legal battle to determine if he should live or die.
It was directed by the acclaimed filmmaking duo Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger in 1946, collectively known as The Archers.
While it did not receive major Academy Awards, it is frequently cited by critics and filmmakers as one of the greatest and most visually innovative works in British cinema history.
