Scorsese: Emotional heart of 'Blimp' transcends generations

Martin Scorsese thinks 'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp' transcends generations.

The 'Hugo' filmmaker wanted to restore Michael Powell's classic 1943 film because even if the story - about the friendship between uptight British soldier Clive Candy and his German counterpart Theodore Kretschmar-Schuldorff - is outdated, the human emotions at the heart of the film still ring true today.
