Timed to the release of new documentary Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger, AFS Cinema revisits three of the duo’s very best. They’re all consumed with crazy, in their own bewitching ways: 1948’s The Red Shoes, about a ballerina torn between art and love; 1947’s Black Narcissus, about a sect of nuns in Nepal going a little mad (from the isolation? the altitude? their suppressed sexual urges?); and 1945’s perfectly wonderful romance I Know Where I’m Going!, about a pragmatic woman in danger of derailing her best laid plans when bad weather puts her in the path of a charming naval officer. Catch one or all of ’em – you can’t go wrong. – Kimberley Jones
