Martin Scorsese’s new virtual theatre to rekindle cinema’s past, will screen buried gems

While Martin Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker were holed up in an apartment cutting ‘Raging Bull’ – an intense process that would have consumed the thoughts of most filmmakers – Scorsese told his editor to take a break. He had a movie he needed to show her.

“He said, ‘You have to see this one,'” recalls Schoonmaker.Scorsese was by then already a passionate fan of the films of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, the British filmmaking duo known as the Archers.He considered Technicolor films like ‘The Red Shoes’, ‘The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp’ and ‘A Matter of Life and Death’ to be masterpieces.
