A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH U

1946 OUT NOW BD EXTRAS Featurette, Biographies

The beloved romantic fantasy from writer/director/producer duo Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger gets a sparkling new Blu-ray transfer from a 4K restoration. The earthbound colour sequences look even more lush, while the black-and-white afterlife pops anew, as squadron leader Peter (David Niven) is torn between worlds when he falls for radio operator June (Kim Hunter) before bailing from his bomber. More than 70 years on, its wry wit and modernist sets feel remarkably fresh. Weak extras. Matt Maytum
