Powell & Pressburger: A Canterbury Tale

Arriving in Kent, a young land girl is attacked by a mysterious man who pours glue into her hair. She and two soldiers determine to track down the 'glue man' – and in the process, begin a pilgrimage which will lead each of them to self-discovery.

Returning one of its directors to his Kentish roots (while allowing the other to extol the magic and mystery of his adopted homeland), the film that may be Powell and Pressburger's most personal transforms a selection of Chaucer's stories into a joyful, surprising journey across the countryside.
