I Know Where I'm Going!

Emeric Pressburger, Michael Powell / GB, 1947 / 91 min.

A headstrong young woman decides upon a marriage of convenience with a vastly rich Lord. On her way to her fiancé she is stuck in a Scottish coastal town for a week, where she falls for an affable seaman. Tilda Swinton introduces her favorite film on March 1 together with her partner, the visual artist Sandro Kopp.

Powell and Pressburger started I Know Where I'm Going as a comedy replete with witty, fast dialogue, but gradually transitioned to a reserved romantic drama in which a socially ambitious young woman doesn’t follow her heart.
