Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s heady romantic masterpiece returns to Filmhouse, now newly restored to 4K.
Headstrong Joan Webster (the wondrous Wendy Hiller) sets off, wedding dress in tow, to marry a rich older man on his remote Hebridean island. Stranded on Mull thanks to the weather, Joan finds herself struggling to cope with the unplanned turn of events. With its odd, dreamlike interludes, its weird symbolism, its sense of the supernatural, and its alertness to the possibility of romantic love. It is a magical, unforgettable experience, a work of real and enduring genius.DramaPT1H37MPG2025-07-18
