Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger finishes an unofficial trilogy of documentaries about Martin Scorsese’s relationship with cinema.

In this new documentary, Scorsese lists the three types of movies that shaped his love of the art-form:

1. American movies. . . as detailed in the 1995 documentary A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies.

2. Italian movies. . . as detailed in the 1999 documentary My Voyage to Italy.

3. And movies from England, specifically The Films of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. . . now detailed in Made in England.

Though it’s the first of the three not directed by Scorsese himself, Made in England follows the mold of its predecessors: with the exception of archival interviews with the discussed filmmakers, Marty’s the sole talking-head for the entirety of their runtimes.

Though his lecturing focuses on analysis of the films, their historical contexts, and behind-the-scenes nuggets, the trilogy has ended up being as much about Scorsese as about any other subject. Beyond the fact that he burrows into the personal significance of all these movies, and how they influenced his own, EVERYTHING he says in these documentaries about the cinema of others can’t help but shed light on his own approach to cinema.
