I KNOW WHERE I’M GOING!

UK | 1945 | B&W | 91’ | ENGLISH

One of the most beautiful films ever made, this enchanting work stars Joan, who is about to leave her frenetic bachelor life and head to the Scottish coast to meet her future husband. But rapidly worsening weather forces her to take temporary refuge in a coastal and windswept hamlet, which will become the catalyst that will free her from the universe of reason and take her into the uncharted land of instincts and heart. By giving the film majestic, almost supernatural dimensions, the filmmakers take the clay of a romantic story and transform it into a mystical fairy tale blown by the wind, scoured by the waves and vibrated by an eternal belief in the power of love.

MICHAEL POWELL, EMERIC PRESSBURGER
If not the most important filmmaking duo in the history of cinema, then certainly the most poetic. An Englishman and a Hungarian unite their particular psyches, separate tasks (directing and writing, respectively), consult together on every stage of the handmade production, and together they achieve the most collaborative, distinctive and fragrant filmography in the history of cinema.
