<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The film-making partnership of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger was one of the most remarkable and visionary in cinema. They made an extraordinary range of films, from The Spy in Black and The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp to A Canterbury Tale and The Red Shoes. With champions like Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola, and revived critical interest worldwide, they now find new generations of admirers. This illuminating new book looks closely at these classic films to explore their complex relationship to national identity, and their interest in exile, borderlands, utopias, escapism, art and fantasy. Moor reveals for example how the visual imagery of the films of the Second World War question current cinematic styles and how post war films like The Red Shoes and The Tales of Hoffman are in their highly expressive use of design, music and dance utterly international in character.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Andrew Moor is Reader in Cinema History at Manchester Metropolitan University. He is co-editor (with Ian Christie) of Michael Powell: International Perspectives on an English Filmmaker and (with Graeme Harper) of Signs of Life: Medicine of Cinema. He is currently writing a book on gay cinema.
