It is an astonishing film from director Michael Powell.when it was released, many ferocious critics hated it resulting in destroying Michael Powell career.I cannot believe the movie was a total fiasco at its first release.

I know where I am going(渦巻）マイケル・パウエル、エメリック・プレスバーガー作品

「I know where I am going(渦巻）」follows a woman on the way to her wedding to a rich man on an island in Scotland. I do not think this is the Powell - Pressburger duo at their finest.Compared to their Red Shoes,all the others are behind it.「I know where I am going 」is just not as well known as their "Red Shoes," or "Stairway to Paradise."I hear the fans of this film make a pilgrimage to the Isle of Mull.It is no wonder people watch this film feel like going there.Locations are stunningly beautiful.

I know where I am going is rated ★★★★

A Matter of Life and Death（天国への階段） (1946)もスタイリッシュな作品

A truly remarkable movie!
A Matter of Life and Death (1946) is a romantic fantasy film set in World War II by the British writer-director-producer team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger.
This film is quite timeless. The "fantasy" element was deftly played. it is not over-weighted with philosophy and yet thought-provoking.

映画「ブラックスワン」をはるかに凌ぐ映画「赤い靴」The Red shoes(1949film赤い靴）outstrip Black swan(ブラックスワン）

Powell (right) and Cardiff (second from left in front) on the set of The Red Shoes

The Red Shoes set for the Covent Garden sequence.

To summarize its main theme,A young ballet dancer is torn between the man she loves and her pursuit to become a prima ballerina.
I have watched 2 movies,Black swan and this Red shoes.To be frank,
Red shoes outstip Black swan in terms of actors/actresses performances,music,dancing scenes,dresses,arts,and so on.
I was taken in by the style and grace of the film, both in the musical and the dramatic moments. The actual "Red Shoes Ballet" itself is an astounding work of art.The long dance sequence remains a cinematic landmark

this is rated ★★★★★+

Japanese classic人情紙風船（Humanity And Paper Balloons）

This Japanese movie director Sadao Yamanaka was drafted into the Japanese army and entered the service on the day this film was released theatrically.And sadly, was died during the war when he was very young aged 28!.With the exception of this film, and only 2 others were survived that we could watch them now.His other films(about 30)were lost ,I think the it is a big loss to the world of the movie globally.
The power of Humanity and Paper Balloons exists not only in the social message that shows the hardships endured by the poor but in its delineation of character,
The film starts with an unseen suicide by a disgraced samurai who hangs himself out of desperation. As the death is being investigated, local tenants hold a wake that turns into a evening of merriment, ostensibly to cleanse the evil that lingers there...
the floating paper ballon in the barrage seems to indicate the human destiny...

BSでハーヴェイ（Harvey、1950年度作品）を見ました。実に面白い。

Harvey　trailer(about 1 minute)


Jimmy Stewart gives one of his best performances as Elwood in this film.He himself said this role was his favorite one.And in this film,
he has a companion, who do you think he/she is? well,it is an invisible one!! but as the story goes on, that invisible one can be seen by the other person.Elwood is very sociable person,always gives his calling card to people whoever he meets,to invite them to his house to have fun or so,,,This film provides much food for thought on the matter of insanity.
Josephine Hull（Elwood sister) was a wonderfull actress being terrific in this film! She won the Academy Award for this!

Harvey is rated ★★★★★（I really want to rewatch it)もう一度見たくなる

I was moved to tears again.禁じられた遊び(Jeux interdits,forbidden games)

Overall the below scenes edited（5minutes long) shows the beginning to the ending,so
if you have not seen it yet, not to see it is recommended.
下のシーンは映画の最初のシーンから最後のシーンに至るまで収められています。未見の方でこれから見たいと思われる方は見ないでください。(約5分あります）



The elements in this film that blows me away whenever watching it:
The opening sequence of the bombardment scenes
Camera moving to show the people fleeing the bombing
The unaffected and natural acting of the two children
René Clément superb instruction in those chidren acting

This film was not success in France at its first run.
It was acclaimed well in the other countries.
Whenever I hear the sound of guitar...I am moved to tears.
