Description

I Know Where I'm Going! is widely regarded as one of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's most remarkable achievements. This 1945 film tells the story of a young woman who encounters a magical world in the Scottish Highlands, forcing her to re-evaluate her priorities.

Pam Cook explores the film's production history, revealing its place within Powell and Pressburger's canon and how it incorporated memories and aspirations from an international group of filmmakers working in 1940s Britain. The book also delves into the extensive use of special effects, showcasing a technologically ambitious masterpiece.

Cook argues that I Know Where I'm Going!'s ability to be both of its time and timeless is what ensures it continues to captivate successive generations of viewers. This new edition offers a fresh perspective on this multilayered work rich in allusions, with an emotional power that transcends boundaries of time and place.
