The Brothers (1947: David MacDonald)

Quote:
A neglected minor masterpiece, The Brothers is a searing melodrama of good and evil, innocence and corruption, with a Scottish director and a largely Scottish cast. Patricia Roc plays an orphan from Glasgow who, in 1900, becomes the servant of a Skye crofter (Finlay Currie) and his sons (Duncan Macrae and Maxwell Reid), in a community where transgressors are sent bobbing out into the ocean, tied up with floats and a fish on their head, which will attract a seabird to dive from great height and pierce fish and skull together. This is a dark brew, with its macabre violence and raw sexual passion. Shot in ghostly greys, The Brothers uses its backdrop of sea and mountains to telling effect, building to a powerful climax.
