Review of I Know Where I'm Going (2009) by Spencer S — 29 Apr 2008

Assured, headstrong Joan Webster (Wendy Hiller) has gone through life knowing exactly what she wants, and knows how to get it... until she is stranded by a storm in a small town in the Hebridies in sight of the island where she is going to wed her fiancee (a far too old for her businessman).

While waiting out the storm she meets Torquil (Robert Livsey) a dashing soldier (and actual Laird of the island) who introduces Joan to the wonders of the surrounding area. Powell and Pressbruger created a film that belongs to the Highlands, peppered with legend, offbeat locals, wonderful ethnic music, and sweeping and atmospheric vistas.
