Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger%u2019s beloved classic A CANTERBURY TALE is a profoundly personal journey to Powell%u2019s bucolic birthplace of Kent, England. Set amid the tumult of the Second World War yet with a rhythm as delicate as a lullaby, the film follows three modern-day incarnations of Chaucer%u2019s pilgrims%u2014a melancholy %u201Clandgirl,%u201D a plainspoken American GI, and a resourceful British sergeant%u2014who are waylaid in the English countryside and forced to solve a bizarre village crime en route to the mythical town. Building to a majestic climax that ranks as one of the filmmaking duo%u2019s finest achievements, the dazzling A CANTERBURY TALE has acquired a following of devotees passionate enough to qualify as pilgrims themselves.
