„My English is not very much, but my friendship for you is very much“
I am actually surprised of how much I liked it. I loved it a lot. The Friendship of Theo and Clive is one of the absolute best cinema friendships of all time. I enjoyed every scene of them together. Especially the first ones, the chemistry between Roger Livesey and Anton Walbrook is amazing. Also the half German half English scene is maybe better even better if you understand both, but I don’t know. Deborah Kerr‘s German is pretty good though. Kerr‘s triple perfomaces is also amazing.
One of the things that make the perfomances even better is fantastic aging make up. Especially that on Roger Livesey, I really thought there were different actors.
The movie also looks incredible, every shot is a beautiful peace of art and I adore the hand painted backgrounds a lot.
Also the movie doesn’t feel like the nearly 3h its is.
Also the hunting throphy scenes are cool made scenes and are working good to show passing of time, but hunting animals for throphys is disgusting and very bad. But I will let it slide as a thing of its time.
I have now watched two movies from Powell and Pressburger and adored both of them heavily. So I will watch more of them and they could become some of my favorite directors.
