About Cinema Bambino: The Salt Path

Ray (Gillian Anderson) and Moth (Jason Isaacs) are out of time, money and hope. They’ve been forced out of the B&B that was going to provide for their retirement and Moth has recently been diagnosed with a terminal neurodegenerative disease. And that is how, in a moment of panic, they decide to walk the Salt Path, a 630-mile trek along the English coast from Dorset to Somerset. Are they trying to outrun an existential crisis or embarking on one last adventure? Does it even matter?

Adapted by Rebecca Lenkiewicz from the 2018 memoir by Raynor Winn, The Salt Path marks the moviemaking debut of theatre director Marianne Elliott. This is a bracingly cinematic tale of a couple struggling against the elements and trying not to turn on one another, while the whole world seems bent on beating them down.
