One of the best things about being a film student is you can watch films without feeling guilty about wasting time watching films. Most afternoon TV is crap, but this afternoon on channel 4 was something of a gem – Powell and Pressburger’s ‘A matter of life and Death’. A lot of my final film essay was on p+p, but that particular film I hadn’t yet seem. Stylistically, you could tell it was theirs. It is very British, almost patriotic. Rather sentimental. Very sweet. In all a good, solid film though. Need to watch all the films I can for my masters! [great excuse, innit?]
