The story of Epic! From 1902 to the end of World War II, the friendship that spanned more than half a century between the two world wars was vividly displayed by the British on the big screen. Another combination of Powerll and Pressburger, Black Narcissus, Hongling Yan Hundred Battles General, this is the ultimate use of Technicolor! General Candy's old age dress is so good, so natural that it leaves no traces. Kerr actually played three...

The scheduling of several closed spaces in P&P is very advanced. There are no fixed shots and direct close-up switching, forcing the audience to actively feel the dialogue in the tension, pay attention to the performance (to stimulate their imagination and sense of participation), and then create a panoramic scene, release the spatial information, and then Further intensify the mood with camera scheduling. A plot spanning 40 years, 160 minutes is not too...

Le génie de MP et EP fait de ce propagande de guerre traitant le code moral militaire un film au Technicolor flamboyant d'une densité historique et humaine rare. Un chef d'oeuvre baroque qui séduit par sa splendeur visuelle résistant au temps comme la beauté de...

In 1943, before World War II ended, the film was somewhat radical in nature. The three lead actors are superb. The humour and corruption inherent in British cinema begins with...

Fast paced and colorful. After two wars, friendship across national borders, and the sadness and relief of the hero at the end, the 40 years of ups and downs are both warm and bitter. It's fun to fall into the bath to open up memories and shoot a beast head at the...

[Film Review] The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943) 8.2/10
This Powell-Pressburger's pièce de résistence, which eulogizes the quintessential “Englishness”, is a lavish moonshot on show, not least for its renowned Technicolor sumptuousness that transmogrifies studio-bound fakery into manufactured imagery of an eyeful. The titular Colonel Blimp, a beloved...

Theo Kretschmar-Schuldorff: You know that, after the war, we had very bad years in Germany. We got poorer and poorer. Every day retired officers or schoolteachers were caught shoplifting. Money lost its value, the price of everything rose except of human beings. We read in the newspapers that the after-war years were bad everywhere, that crime was increasing and that honest citizens were having a hard job to put the gangsters in jail. Well in Germany, the gangsters finally succeeded in putting the honest citizens in jail.
