The Salt Path

2024

Certificate 12A – DRAMA
Director: Marianne Elliott
With Gillian Anderson, Jason Isaacs
Runtime: 115 mins

Based on the controversial memoir by Raynor Winn, this is the story of how she and her ailing husband Moth (played by Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs) set out on a 630-mile trek along the Cornish, Devon and Dorset coastline. After being evicted from their home, they make the desperate decision to walk in the hope that, in nature, they will find solace and a sense of acceptance. With depleted resources, only a tent and some essentials between them, every step along the path is a testament to their growing strength and determination.

WHY WATCH THIS FILM? It’s got two excellent actors and some beautiful scenery.

“The Salt Path is not an epic tale, nor does it try to be. It is a quiet, measured meditation on what remains when everything is stripped away. It asks: when you have nothing, what do you hold on to? And answers: each other, the earth beneath your feet, and the hope that life, somehow, will go on.” The Upcomi

“From theatre director Marianne Elliott, it stars two fancy actors – Anderson and Jason Isaacs – both giving lovely, emotional, low-key performances.” The Guardian

“The coastal scenery is spectacular on the eye, while Isaacs and especially Anderson are both superb.” Daily Mail
