There comes a time when only Michael Powell's red will do. An endlessly fascinating film, it has taken me years to see it finally as a series of beautifully constructed hallucinations.
There are some of those fantastically fast cuts; bits that look like Cocteau shot them; love the camera work in the ping pong scene; intimate close ups.
It's absolutely without equal.
