Its 71 years old and considered one of the best British films ever made.
Rachel takes a look at the wonderful A Matter Of Life And Death.
But mainly, its far too imposing a title.
The story goes thatAMOLADstarted life as a bit of wartime propaganda.
Theres so much more in this movie that was headache inducing for the people who made it.
First and foremostA Matter Of Life And Deathis a love story.
I think this is down to those opening five minutes when Peter radios June.
What makesAMOLADso great is how effortlessly it blends ostensibly contradictory ideas together in a way that feels completely natural.
As with all the best films,AMOLADis still as relevant today as it was 70 years ago.
But I think its more than that theres vulnerability in sharing what you love.
A Matter Of Life And Deathis my favourite film.
But there is something more sublime than that woven into the fabric of this film.
I see the ability movies have to transcend, to move and shape us and change who we are.
It is my cinematic soulmate and I cannot wait to see it on the big screen.
A Matter Of Life And Deathis in selected cinemas across the UK from 8th December.
