I Know Where I’m Going!

I did not enjoy it as much as Powell and Pressburger's other films. The main character was annoying especially in the latter part of the film. The editing seemed to frantic at times, but maybe that's to represent her desire in getting married. The cinematography was beautiful, I have to admit. And the introduction to northern Scotland was wonderful. This is between 3.5 and 4 stars for me.

Another masterpiece from The Archers, this film is an exquisitely photographed mood piece that shows Powell and Pressburger at the height of their powers. It also has one of the best scripts they worked with deftly combining romance, satire, and gothic drama. Of course all of the actors are amazing. It's like a tasty little gumdrop.

Beautiful at parts, but mostly because "Black Narcissus" is basically a remake of "I Know Where I'm Going!", it really tastes like little. "Black Narcissus" has probably the most erotically charged shots ever thought through cinema, even in an art form with such daring creators such as Sternberg or Buñuel. If we recall that that movie is about nuns, how the hell can we even compare "I Know Where I'm Going!"?

A bucolic masterpiece as joyous and beautiful as any of Ford's. Acting as the beating heart of the film structurally as well as emotionally and morally, an anniversary party typifies the spirit of this film, and indeed, all of Powell’s work. It’s also one of the most ebullient sequences in cinema history, a scene that positively oozes love. http://filmcapsule.com/2015/08/11/i-know-where-im-going-1945/

Looks beautiful at times, but I've never felt it to be the great romantic classic that so many Archers fans do.

Holy Cow! Can all young men watch this movie instructionally?!? Please? Roger Livesey is the single most charismatic and appealing romantic lead I have ever seen in film (or in life for that matter). That is this picture's greatest strength, I think. But it is also an incredibly beautiful movie that faithfully captures a convincing romance against an achingly beautiful backdrop of sea and foam (thanks Erwin Hillier).

There are so many exceptional moments in this film. Look for instance at the short, carefully crafted dream sequence during the journey with its use of voices in the music.

Una película romántica que me atrapó gracias a su conseguida atmósfera y su embriagadora fotografía en blanco y negro. A destacar el original modo de presentar los créditos iniciales alternándolos con la presentación y evolución de la protagonista, así como la emocionante secuencia de la tormenta marina.
