Transcript

00:00Some of the very first moving images that I can remember seeing are from Michael Powell

00:08and Emmerich Pressburger.

00:10I have never met a person who not only understood what I was driving at, but guessed already

00:17half of it before I said it.

00:22They were like experimental filmmakers working within the system.

00:26Do we have a go at each other?

00:28Not really.

00:29In a few hours time, he sees that I was right.

00:37They want to go beyond everyday experiences and communicate what is deep and mysterious

00:42in our lives.

00:43I love you, June.

00:44You're life and I'm leaving you.

00:45You say that because you love her.

00:46I don't love anyone.

00:47And it's something that no other art form can do.

00:56It's pure film.

00:57Everybody happy?

00:58They wanted to hang on to their independence and they suffered because of it.

01:03Why do you think it was so important for you to show somebody dying for their art?

01:08I think because I would do it myself.

01:12And I find it extraordinary that I knew Michael Powell.

01:15He was not only a support, but a guide and that always leads back to those films he made

01:21with Emmerich.

01:22And I was just rejoicing that I was going to work with somebody like this.

01:28What they offer is a vision of love, of longing and loss, hope and expectation of wonder.

01:40I've watched these movies so many times, they become part of my life and a reminder of what

01:50life and art are all about.
