Classic Scottish Drama - first time to Home Entertainment

Venus Peter (1989, colour) Blu-ray Region B

Directed by Ian Sellar. Starring Ray McAnally, Gordon R. Strachan, David Hayman, Sinad Cusack.
Young Peters world is populated with magical thoughts and fantasies, as he grows up with his elderly sage-like grandfather
(Ray McAnally), a fisherman, in the Orkney Islands during the 1950s. Peter (Gordon R. Strachan), baptised with sea-water,
becomes the sea child of ancient legend, dreaming frequently, often about his absent father. Sometimes he fancies he is a
boat, while his grandfather decries the avarice of the human race and rails against the uncontrolled exploitation of the seas
which threatens his livelihood. Peters experiences are influenced by the poetry readings of his aunt, and the appreciation of
beauty taught him by his teacher (Sinad Cusack).
