Going Back

About This Movie

Going Back is a curious piece from 1979 that really draws you in with its atmospheric setting. The film is steeped in a certain melancholic beauty, with the Yorkshire moors providing a backdrop that feels both isolating and comforting. Faith’s tender interactions with her husband Jack, who is blind, give the film a unique emotional depth. There’s a beautiful simplicity to their exchanges, layered with an almost poetic observation of nature. It’s not flashy, but the pacing allows the viewer to sit with the characters, absorbing the nuances. A quiet exploration of love and perception, it stands out in its presentation of disability and the sensory experiences that accompany it, making it a distinctive piece for collectors who appreciate nuanced storytelling.

Going Back remains somewhat elusive in collector circles, primarily due to its limited release and the obscurity of its director. The film has seen few home media editions, making original prints particularly sought after. Interest in this title has grown, especially among those who appreciate quieter, character-driven narratives, as well as collectors who focus on 1970s cinema gems that may have flown under the radar.
