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 (Wendy Hiller) 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 (Roger Livesey).

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.

With a new 4K digital restoration by the BFI National Archive and The Film Foundation, supervised by filmmaker Martin Scorsese and editor Thelma Schoonmaker Powell, I Know Where I'm Going! is given the Criterion treatment and released on 4K UHD 15th December 2025 from Spirit Entertainment.
