Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger collaborated in the creation of many remarkable British films including "The Red Shoes, " "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, " and "A Canterbury Tale." While film scholars have known that Powell and Pressburger valued accuracy to enhance the power of their stories, a complete analysis of the neurological basis of one of their most memorable films, "A Matter of Life and Death- American title-Stairway to Heaven" (1946), has not been fully explored. This book will bring to light that scholarship interwoven into this powerful film.
