Charming Droll Film with a Wonderful Message

"I was totally infatuated with Bill Forsyth films in the 80s. This is one of his highlights. An American Oil company goes to Scotland to survey for offshore drilling sites knowing that they will change the environment forever. The businessmen find charm and a beautiful way of life in the small villages they visit and beauty in the beaches and scenery they will destroy. While the oil company men become more apprehensive about destroying the local, the residents see the oil company and the money they bring as a way to wealth and an opportunity to leave a place that offers them very little in modernity. A very quiet charming film with wonderful insight into people."

Holds a high place in my video library
