	Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger
		Thus, the ‘difficulty’ of placing or situating Powell and Pressburger’s films is largely the result of their mixed and hybrid nature and the problems one encounters in trying to place them, even loosely, within one of these two basic traditions, and British cinema as a whole.
		It is therefore not surprising that many critiques of Powell and Pressburger’s work focus upon its hybridised and synthetic nature, and are uncertain of its often incessant combination of somewhat disparate genres, tones and visual styles.
		In the end, Hoffmann falls in love with something that is reminiscent of the cinema and it is his inability to make a distinction between reality and illusion, self and screen, private and public and corporeality and simulation that fuels this love.

		Indeed, their breathless flights of fantasy, their fascinations with the overpowering wildness of nature, their fevered explorations of erotic and obsessive psychology, and their satirical disdain for manners and ritual-all made flesh by the often disturbingly rapturous use of Technicolor-was reckless, eccentric, and insolent, and all the better for being so.
		Rather one might say that for Powell and Pressburger it is often love, on the loose and at large, that is a disruptive force of creation in their characters' lives, despite- and because of -their characters' efforts to control and create it.
		Pressburger was usually a moderating influence on the flamboyantly imaginative Powell-but not in this case.

	The DVD Journal \| Reviews : The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp: The Criterion Collection
		Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger were one of cinema's great creative teams, like Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond, or Alfred Hitchcock and John Michael Hayes.
		Often the comedy comes from the way Powell and Pressburger place their super-serious characters in costumes (funny hats, towels, or turbans) or settings (bathhouses, beer halls) that undermine their dignity, contrasted with the manners and rituals that organize their social lives.
		But Pressburger is a beautiful writer, and Powell was a Hollywood-level master of color, movement, camera placement, and actorial timing — a cross between Lubistch and Hitchcock.

	Britmovie - The Tales of Hoffman 1951
		Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger met with Sir Thomas Beecham, who suggested that they film Offenbach's The Tales of Hoffmann.
		The real Hoffmann, born in Koenigsberg in 1776 and raised by his uncle and grandmother, found refuge in writing bizarre tales which have been compared to those of Franz Kafka.
		In this nay it is the most spectacular failure yet achieved by Powell and Pressburger, who seem increasingly to dissipate their gifts in a welter of aimless ingenuity.

		Overall, Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's 1948 tale of the tragic ballerina Vicky Page (Moira Shearer) is not in the top drawer of their achievements.
		Page's central dilemma, meanwhile, is a bit on the trite side--she must choose between love for a young composer and her career under stern taskmaster Boris Lertomov (Anton Walbrook), the ballet company impresario.
		A superb score by Brian Easdale is matched by an impossibly elaborate, shifting backdrop in which all of Powell and Pressburger's sense of drama, colour, invention and the super-real is encapsulated in one small but intensely concentrated dose.

	A Matter of Life and Death / Une question de vie ou de mort / Michael Powell / Emeric Pressburger / 1946 / Film review
		One of the undisputed masterpieces of British cinema, A Matter of Life and Death was just one of the many accomplishments to come out of the fruitful partnership of the writer-director team Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger.
		The film was made at a time of great international tension just after World War II, and also great relief and reflection for the British, and all this is reflected in the film.
		Perhaps what makes this a masterpiece is the sheer depth of imagination and creativity which Powell and Pressburger bring to it, which involved some courageous risk taking.
