Powell and Pressburger made The Red Shoes and Black Narcissus, and Gone to Earth is their overlooked Shropshire romance in the same rich Technicolor. Jennifer Jones plays a half-wild girl with a pet fox, fought over by a gentle minister and a brutal squire. If you love classic cinema, a brand-new 4K restoration on a big festival screen is exactly how to see it.
What to expect
Expect a Revivals screening of a restored classic, shown on a big festival screen. The audience is heavy with classic-film devotees who come for the color alone. Expect lush color and sweeping English countryside, the kind of image a 4K restoration is made to show off.
