"London"
1994
Directed by Patrick Keiller

Architect-turned-director Patrick Keiller returns with an eccentric documentary that brings out a side of his city that few tourists will ever visit.  Also returning is Academy Award-winning actor Paul Scofield as the mysterious narrator, who is back in London after a seven-year absence to tour the city with his former lover Robinson.  The pair visit historical sites associated with such famous authors as Poe and Baudelaire, only to discover pollution, urban blight, and IRA bomb scares have changed the flavor of their beloved London forever.  Wry, deadpan humor, ironic commentary on social politics, and immaculately composed images make this ideological guided tour of England's capital city an indispenable companion piece to the unforgettable "Robinson in Space."  82 minutes.
