" "The great innovators have always been fearless.... I have fallen off haystacks, out of trees, over cliffs. I have been nearly drowned, shot and hanged. I have been in countless car crashes without getting a scratch. I have been alone in an office with Louis B. Mayer.

About Michael Powell
Michael Latham Powell (30 September 1905 – 19 February 1990) was an English film director. Via his partnership with Emeric Pressburger and their production company "The Archers", the two men wrote, produced and directed a series of British films, including The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943), A Canterbury Tale (1944), A Matter of Life and Death (US: Stairway to Heaven 1946), Black Narcissus (1947), The Red Shoes (1948), and The Tales of Hoffmann (1951). His film Peeping Tom (1960), now considered a classic, was heavily vilified on first release seriously damaging his career. Many film-makers such as Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola have cited Powell as an influence. In 1981, he received the BAFTA Academy Fellowship Award along with Pressburger, the highest honour the British Academy of Film and Television Arts can give a filmmaker.

I live cinema. I chose the cinema when I was very young, sixteen years old, and from then on my memories virtually coincide with the history of the cinema ... I'm not a director with a personal style, I am simply cinema. I have grown up with and through cinema; everything that I've had in the way of education has been through the cinema; insofar as I'm interested in images, in books, in music, it's all due to the cinema.
