'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp' (1943, Dir: Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger)

This week, Corbin and Matt talk about 'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp,' Powell and Pressburger's incredible exploration of the life and career of a British Solider from the first half of the 20th Century. It's almost hard to talk about because it is such a rich text. We didn't even talk about how the central relationship of the movie reflects that of the movie's creators, we're so deep in it.

You can, and should, watch this movie here, on Criterion, and here on HBOMax.

If you want to read something really incredible about this movie, check out Kent Puckett's essay on the movie here, at JSTOR. Next week's episode is about Chantal Ackerman's "News From Home," which you can watch here.
