AN adaptation of the classic Scottish novel of the same name by Lewis Grassic Gibbon, the 2015 film Sunset Song follows the life of Chris Guthrie (Agyness Deyn), a young woman living on a Kincardineshire farm in the fictional village of Kinraddie, shortly before the First World War.
Covering the first part of Grassic Gibbon’s famous A Scots Quair trilogy, the film focuses on the decline and modernisation of traditional Scots farming communities, and the impending global conflict. Centred on one woman and her family farm, the film also touches on the emigration of Scots in the early 20th century and the effects of the war on rural Scotland.
