If you loved The Thief of Bagdad, try A Matter of Life and Death
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Michael Powell, and they sit in Fantasy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Thief of Bagdad, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What A Matter of Life and Death is
Apparently death has a bureaucracy. A British aviator cheats death and ends up in a celestial court. It's a romance that's literally to die for.
