"The Edge of the World"
1937
Directed by Michael Powell
Fascinating
early work from Michael Powell that has the visual intensity and gothic
romanticism of the Murnau/Flaherty masterpiece Tabu. Shot on the
picturesque North Sea isle of Foula, the film centers on an argument about
the island's future that leads to a rock climbing contest, which forever
changes the relationships of the men involved and their loved ones. "An
irresistible gem: not just one of the earliest and best films by the great
British director, but a bona fide cinematic legend" (William Arnold,
Seattle Post-Intelligencer). Digitally mastered from the restored 35mm
print. Includes Powell's 1978 documentary Return to the Edge of the World
and his 1941 wartime short. An Airman's Letter to His Mother, plus
stills gallery. 73 minutes. |
