The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp

“I see another wonderful movie here that I love very much, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. It has a wonderful actor in it that I love very much named Anton Walbrook... This has an incredible sequence in the middle of it that I love very much where this British soldier is challenged to a duel by a German soldier and this is great sequence that builds up to this wonderful duel. It's a very funny movie, it's a very moving movie, it's a big expansive sort of epic movie.”

“My final pick is Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. This movie is so beautiful and spans over this big period of time, almost related to Yi in the sense that you really feel the span of these people's lives over time. And there's something really beautiful about that effect because my favorite movies, which Yi and this and It's a Wonderful Life do, is that you walk out of the movie and you want to savor and appreciate life you have more deeply.”

“Oh look there's a box set this is one I can highly recommend. Oh Colonel Blimp yes this is one of the great films ever. I like all of their films but this was one of the very most thrilling. Yeah that one was wonderful.”

“Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. This is one of my favorite movies. I saw this movie not that long ago and I was so knocked out by how contemporary the cinematography felt, how sharp the dialogue felt. I just thought sometimes you come across an old movie that holds up so beautifully because it speaks to a contemporary rhythm, and I highly recommend this one, it really does.”
