A Canterbury Tale
Amidst the rage of the Second World War, three young modern-day pilgrims head to Canterbury to receive a blessing. As Martin Scorsese put it, Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger turn into both preachers and propagandists in this unusual wartime allegory imbued with religious symbolism.
