Stairway to Heaven

...more than anything, Life And Death is about Powell playing with cinema by goofing around with freeze-frames and avant-garde interludes in the interest of creating an onscreen reality more vivid than life itself.

It's a story with humour and heart, a genuine classic that rewards with repeat viewings.

...a rich, strange, mercurial romance, winningly played by David Niven as a lovestruck pilot left out of heaven as the result of a bureaucratic bungle.

The ambiguous screenplay is only part of the attraction here: quite simply, A Matter Of Life Or Death is a visual feast.
