    Fabien Lemercier on Cineuropa wrote:
    “I feel like there’s real madness around me”. At the police station, with a beaten up face and his arm in a sling, Vincent (Karim Leklou) tries to understand the incomprehensible. In the space of two days, two of his colleagues have attacked him with brutal violence for no apparent reason and without knowing why themselves. As if that wasn’t enough, his managers are having doubts over him and ask him to work from home “for everyone’s sake”. And this is only the beginning of his troubles because he’s convinced – and this intuition is swiftly confirmed by subsequent events – that tirades of aggressiveness might be unleashed against him anyplace and anytime.

    Quote:
    Considered by many to be the finest British film ever made, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, is a stirring masterpiece like no other. Roger Livesey dynamically embodies outmoded English militarism as the indelible General Clive Candy, who barely survives four decades of tumultuous British history, 1902 to 1942, only to see the world change irrevocably before his eyes. Anton Walbrook and Deborah Kerr provide unforgettable support, he as a German enemy turned lifelong friend of Candy’s and she as young women of three consecutive generations—a socially committed governess, a sweet-souled war nurse, and a modern-thinking army driver—who inspire him. Colonel Blimp is both moving and slyly satirical, an incomparable film about war, love, aging, and obsolescence, shot in gorgeous Technicolor.Read More »
