I Know Where I'm Going 4K UHD + Blu-ray
'I Know Where I'm Going' Directors: Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger (1945) Criterion Collection 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray
Love flourishes in the Scottish Hebrides in this windswept enchantment from British cinema’s most passionate visionaries, Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger.
“I know where I’m going!” declares headstrong, upwardly mobile Joan Webster en route to her marriage to a wealthy industrialist—until her carefully laid plans are blown away by a raging storm that leaves her stranded on an island off the Scottish coast with a dashing naval officer.
Shot in ethereal black and white that enhances the almost mystical air of its setting—a folkloric world where legends and curses still hold sway—this beloved romance is one of cinema’s most stirring expressions of the eternal conflict between the head and the heart.
