Thanks for that, Reaky. Looks like time stood still.

Gorgeous

Now I want to:
a) go to Mull
b) have a copy of I Know Where I'm Going! that looks as good as reaky's photos.

Nothing more elaborate than an iPhone SE. Mull is just that photogenic.

Mull is almost entirely served with only single-track roads, so that’s probably staved off development.

IKWIG still exerts a strong pull, though. The narrow roads mean you frequently have to pull over to let other cars pass, and as I stopped at the waterfall phonebox, the mother and daughter in the other car asked me for directions to the Carsaig pier. After pointing the way, I said knowingly, “I know where I’m going.” “And I know who’s going with me,” replied mum, smiling.

Thank you for sharing those, reaky. Excellent photos that really transport you to another time. (note to self: mark Mull as a future filming location)

Reaky is my vote for Poster Of The Year, based on these images, related to this film. Wonderful. Thanks.

Is the poster for the film still in the foyer of the hotel? I have a photo of my wife sitting on the capstan at Carsaig à la Wendy Hillier

Not in the foyer, but to the side, next to the Kiloran room.

Great also good to see that they have spruced the place up a bit since I was there last

Got talking to someone who agreed that the vintage lavatory looks like that in The Shining’s Overlook.

Last night at the Wexner Center Restoration round-table with Margaret Bodde and Grover Crisp, she 100% confirmed that Criterion was working with the Film Foundation to get their restored version released. She stated that it had been a two-year project and was nearing the end of that cycle. She did not confirm a release date but stated from past experience that it is always Criterion that chooses the release dates and does not always coordinate with the Film Foundation in advance on that. She did not discuss any special features or go into the technical aspects of the restoration. Interestingly, Sony's Crisp was on stage with her at that time of this announcement and although did not make any remarks appearing to say his studio had been part of the release, he did comment that he is looking forward to more Powell/Pressburgers being released, as they are a good return on investment. Take that final off-the-cuff remark as it lays, since no one else in the roundtable responded to his comments to say if Criterion was working actively on any other Powell/Pressburgers.

4K upgrade in December

At last!

god, finally

This is such great news, it should look glorious.

Presumably another Criterion P&P that will be squashed by ITV in the UK (as with AMOLAD).

I sold my DVD more than 5 years ago because I think there had been rumors of an upgrade. I've felt empty ever since. But also before then

our long national nightmare is over!!! can't wait!!

It took so long for the rumors to materialize, we went from living in a dystopian hellhole to something approaching normality then back into an even worse dystopian hellhole. Weeee.....

A Canterbury Tale better be next! (I'm thrilled to have this in 4k!)

Recently got a Blu-ray from Imprint, so not out of the realm of possibility!
