PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
This early film by the great British director, shot entirely on the wild, windswept island of Foula in the Shetlands, follows with almost ethnographic detail a conflict between two families on the island. It's an achingly beautiful tribute to a soon to be gone way of life. This lovingly produced DVD includes Powell's Return to the Edge of the World, a WWII short and commentary by film historian Ian Christian. Daniel Day-Lewis reads from Powell's book on the making of the film.
