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
