Coming Soon

Introduced by  Melanie Williams of the University of East Anglia at Cinema City Picturehouse, and Picturehouse Programmer Rose Butler at West Norwood Picturehouse. Screening as part of Cinema Unbound: The Creative Worlds of Powell + Pressburger, a UK-wide film season supported by National Lottery and BFI Film Audience Network.

Headstrong young city girl Joan Webster (Wendy Hiller) sets off, wedding dress in tow, to marry a rich older man on his remote Hebridean island. But when stormy weather leaves her stranded on a neighbouring isle, she finds herself struggling to cope with the unplanned turn of events – and in particular, a surprising connection with the mysterious local laird (Roger Livesey).

With flashes of folklore in its life-threatening whirlpools and ancient curses, Powell and Pressburger craft a metaphysical romance that's disarming and enchanting in equal measure.
