“Walking gives us time to think”
Based on Raynor Winn’s bestselling 2018 memoir, The Salt Path recounts her 630-mile trek along the beautiful but rugged Cornish, Devon and Dorset coastline with her husband Moth. Not long after Moth (Jason Isaacs) is diagnosed with corticobasal degeneration, he and Raynor (Gillian Anderson) find themselves houseless and nearly penniless. Together, with only a tent and a couple of essentials, the couple embarks on a journey through the coastal countryside hoping to find solace, a sense of acceptance and the determination to carry on.
“This portrait of loss, humanity and rebirth makes it worth the emotional investment”
“A cinematic journey worth taking”
“Anderson and Isaacs are both so appealing in the roles that you can’t help becoming involved”
With scenic serenity and two tremendous performances from Jason Isaacs and Gillian Anderson, four-time Tony Award winner Marianne Elliott (War Horse, Angels in America, Company, Death of a Salesman) lifts to the Winn’s remarkable true story to screen in all its emotional weight. Gracefully balancing all its subject matters one step at a time with a great respect for the real story, The Salt Path makes for a life-affirming, exhilarating and heartwarming expedition of self discovery, liberation and survival.
