Cinematheque: The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
Thursday October 30, 2014. 6:00 p.m., CL-G8.
Please join us for the second film in our fall Cinematheque series: “The Best Films I’ve Never Seen.” Film PhD candidate Kevin Flanagan will present The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, a 1943 film from British directors Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. This film, which chronicles the career of a British officer from the Boer War through World War II, has often been called the greatest British film ever made, and is #93 in the BFI Sight & Sound Critics Poll of the best films of all time. This semester’s theme, “The Best Film I’ve Never Seen”, presents some of the most critically acclaimed, but least seen films ever made, based on a poll of current film studies graduate students.
