I Know Where I' m Going! (1945) is widely regarded as one of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger' s most remarkable achievements and a cinematic tour de force. A simple moral tale set in the wild Scottish Highlands, it follows the journey of a headstrong young woman forced by her encounter with this magical, mythic world and its exotic customs to revise her materialistic priorities. Pam Cook traces the film' s production history, exploring its place in Powell and Pressburger' s canon and showing how it wove into its narrative the memories and aspirations of an international group of film-makers working in 1940s Britain. Focusing on the extensive use of special effects, she reveals a technologically ambitious masterpiece. I Know Where I' m Going! is, for Cook, a multilayered work rich in allusions whose emotional power reaches beyond boundaries of time and place to touch profound human desires. In her foreword to this new edition, Cook argues that I Know Where I' m Going!' s ability to be both of its time and timeless is what ensures that it continues to captivate successive generations of viewers.
