The Edge Of The World

The Edge Of The World tells the moving story of a remote island and its inhabitants, whose traditions and livelihood are threatened by a rapidly industrialising world. To settle an argument over whether the islanders should move to the mainland, two childhood friends follow an ancient tradition and climb the island’s highest cliff face. Made before his landmark collaborations with Emeric Pressburger, The Edge Of The World captures the early bloom of the filmmaking genius of director Michael Powell.
