Film Pairs

Centred around two flawed heroes, two iconic and complex men of action, If and The Charge of the Light Brigade make compelling viweing. Released in the social and political tumult of 1968, these two classics of British cinema have much to say about the world into which they were released. Peter Delaunay explores these curiously complimentary bedfellows.

Although seemingly polar opposites - one an existential, brooding French meditation, the other a hardboiled Hollywood sci-fi thriller - these two films make interesting conversation, once the ice is broken.
