Film tip: The Salt Path is the coastal walk your soul needs

Film tip: The Salt Path is the coastal walk your soul needs

Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs lace up for an ode to wild walking and wilder love. Get ready for fresh sea air, British grit and a reminder that home is sometimes just the next cliff-top view.

 

Film details

 

What’s the vibe?

Picture a middle-aged couple who lose everything overnight: house, savings, stability. Instead of curling up, they shoulder rucksacks and start Britain’s 1,013-km South West Coast Path. It’s raw, windswept and gloriously un-Instagrammable. Along the way, they rediscover each other, confront mortality and prove that sometimes the only way out is along the cliff edge.

Why you might like it

  • Eyes: sweeping drone shots of Cornwall’s craggy headlands and more coastal sunsets than you can count.

  • Heart: a marriage tested by illness and homelessness, delivered with Anderson-Isaacs chemistry that stings and soothes.

  • Mind: musings on consumerism, belonging and how nature can reboot even the most urban soul.

 

Scene to watch for

A storm-lashed night beneath a battered tarp when Moth finally confesses his deepest fear — and the sea answers with a thunderous, oddly comforting roar.

 

Recommended pairing

Swap the standard nachos for salted caramel bites (on-theme but cinema-friendly). After the credits, grab a takeaway hot chocolate and stroll the Maas riverfront; the briny breeze ties the whole journey together.
