Review of The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943) by Matt M — 14 May 2013
Perhaps the most controversial film by renowned filmmaking duo Powell and Pressburger, who in 1943 made and released a film satirising British traditionalism, military doctrine and the general idea of masculinity.
While the result still seems daring to this day, it's easy to see the softer and sweeter side. While narratively it is not their most refined film, mostly due to the abrupt time skips, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp is exciting, kind hearted and fun with some very impressive camera work.
