Two films by Patrick Keiller
Patrick Keiller’s imaginative and highly original films each document a journey undertaken by the unseen ‘researcher’ Robinson and his similarly unseen companion, the film’s narrator (voice by Paul Scofield).
London is a journal of 1992, the year of John Major’s re-election, IRA bombs and the first crack in the House of Windsor. Scathing reflections on the recent past are enlivened by offbeat humour and wide-ranging literary anecdotes.
Robinson in Space sees Robinson commissioned to undertake a study of the ‘problem’ of England. Keiller’s immaculately framed images and sly deadpan narration take the viewer on an unpredictable exploration of the cultural and economic landscape. |
