A Matter of Life and Death
A Matter of Life and Death (UK) | (104 min; 1946; English) | Click here to watch
Directors: Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger
With David Niven, Roger Livesey, Kim Hunter, Marius Goring
Recipient of the Bodil Award for Best Foreign Film, Bodil Awards 1948
A Matter of Life and Death is undoubtedly one of the best films ever made - cheerful, whimsical, fantastical and full of human warmth and cheer. Nearly every moment drips with style, loving enthusiasm and balls-to-the-wall filmmaking skill. Powell and Pressburger mine the heavenly situation with wit, intelligence and infectious good humour, delivering a solid-gold screenplay using the archetype of a courtroom drama, blending it superbly with melodrama, a red-blooded romance and a great buddy story

Después de… Atado y bien atado | (99 min; 1981; Spanish with English subtitles)
Director: Cecilia Bartolomé y José Juan Bartolomé
This film was made between April 1979 and the end of 1980, three years after Franco's death. During those months, the directors tried to reflect the feelings and opinions of the street after the transition from dictatorship to democracy. As well as the conflicts that threatened democratic normalization and that culminated in the coup attempt on February 23, 1981, shortly after the film ended.
