Description

SUNSET SONG

Celebrated director Terence Davies (The House of Mirth, The Long Day Closes) returns with this adaptation of Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s novel about a farming family struggling to eke out a living in northeast Scotland.

Sunset Song is Terence Davies’ intimate epic of hope, tragedy and love at the dawning of the Great War. A young woman’s endurance against the hardships of rural Scottish life, based on the novel by Lewis Grassic Gibbon, told with gritty poetic realism by Britain’s greatest living auteur. Set in a rural community, Sunset Song is driven by the young heroine Chris and her intense passion for life, for the unsettling Ewan and for the unforgiving land. The First World War harshly brings the modern world to bear on the community, yet Chris gracefully endures as a woman of remarkable strength who is able to draw from the ancient land in looking to the future. Sunset Song is at once epic in emotional scale and deeply romantic at its core, given power by Terence Davies’ unflinching poetic realism. (UK, 2015, 135 min., DCP | Dir.
