UK | 1945 | dir.s Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, with Roger Livesey, Wendy Hiller, Pamela Brown, Finlay Currie
The war is a distant backdrop in this unconventional romance largely set in the Scottish Hebrides, where a city girl is transplanted into a rural environment and comes to question her preconceptions. It was perhaps Powell and Pressburger’s most personal film to date: a metaphysical love story which confirmed their continuing departure from Britain’s realist tradition.
Preceded by Powell’s and Pressburger’s Island Stories, a free lecture by Professor Ian Christie (Gresham College) at 6pm
