Sunset Song
WWI reaches out and brings the modern world to bear on a rural Scottish community. A young woman's coming-of-age journey beset by the ceaseless struggle between tradition and change.
The story of a young woman's coming of age, a journey beset by the ceaseless struggle between tradition and change.
Set in a rural community in the early years of the 20th century, Sunset Song is driven by young heroine Chris and her struggle with her intense passion for all of life, for the unsettling Ewan and for the unforgiving land.
WWI reaches out from afar, bringing the modern world to bear on the community in the harshest possible way.
Sunset Song is at once epic in scale and intimate, deeply romantic at its core yet given power by Terence Davies' unflinching poetic realism.
