I Know Where I’m Going!

Digital Restoration

featuring

Wendy Hiller, Roger Livesey, Pamela Brown, Finlay Currie,

Powell and Pressburger’s most romantic, lyrical film sets a love affair and an emotional awakening against the vast beauty of Scotland’s Hebrides Islands. A young British woman en route to marry her wealthy boss becomes stranded by a storm and finds herself falling under the spell of the landscape and an attentive young Scotsman. Shot on location, filled with mysticism and sensuality, the film stands as “one of the finest of all screen romances” (Elliot Stein, Village Voice). “I reached the point of thinking there were no more masterpieces to discover, until I saw I Know Where I’m Going!” (Martin Scorsese).
