In PRINCE OF MUCK retired patriarch Lawrence MacEwen is beginning to live out his final days. As Laird of the Isle of Muck, it has been his mission in life to preserve the fragile society on this Inner Hebridean island, so it may pass to his son, Colin, and future generations. His Sisyphean efforts seem to have worked… but at what cost to him?
Directed by first time feature director Cindy Jansen, PRINCE OF MUCK is a beautifully realised, cinematic documentary about a man struggling to accept he no longer controls his son, his life, nor the isle he so loves. Dutch Director Jansen brings a cool, seemingly detached ‘outside eye’ to a classic Scottish scenario, as a Laird surveys his Life and Land. Jansen's carefully constructed narrative gives space to inter-generational tensions to slow-burn, dramatic effect.
PRINCE OF MUCK starts off as a portrait of an eccentric man, but slowly rises above his family’s history on this particular island, to become a more universal story, a classical rendition of interdependence, a simultaneously transient, yet deep, experience, of a man slowly accepting the eternity that beckons him and, we ultimately recognise, awaits us all.
