New Delhi: This delightful documentary features Martin Scorsese’s passionate and authoritative discussion of the films of Emeric Pressburger and Michael Powell.

It was this Italian-American director who, in the 1970s, rediscovered these local masters after the British elite ignored them.

It was while seeing Powell and Pressburger films on the family TV that Martin Scorsese’s appreciation for their work began at an early age. Now, in a documentary that will appear on MUBI on June 28, he recounts his enduring devotion to their films, which include such classics as The Tales of Hoffmann, The Red Shoes, Black Narcissus, and The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp.

The documentary, helmed by David Hinton, a two-time BAFTA and Emmy winner, delves into how Powell and Pressburger’s groundbreaking narrative and signature style profoundly impacted the film industry, touching the lives of directors like Martin Scorsese.
