A Canterbury Tale - Powell and Pressburger (1944)
Moving story of four lost souls, young and old, traveling towards Canterbury to receive unexpected blessings. Reverential treatment of the British countryside. Slightly disturbing glue/hair theme has shades of Peeping Tom. Lovely expressionistic lighting used for quieter purposes than earlier German films. Love story parallels Once somewhat. Highly recommended.
