Description
Patrick Keiller's imaginative and highly original two films each document a journey undertaken by the unseen 'researcher' Robinson and his similarly unseen companion, the film's narrator (voiced by Paul Scofield). Scathing reflections on the recent past are enlivened by offbeat humour and wide-ranging literary anecdotes. These critically acclaimed films are presented for the first time on DVD in a double-disc digipack that contains a 32-page illustrated booklet with contributions from director Mike Hodges and writer Iain Sinclair.
London is neither feature film nor documentary but a provocative essay in the form of a journal, recording fictitious journeys through a very real city. Writer, director and photographer Keiller shot the film during 1992, a year which witnessed the re-election of John Major, the continuation of the IRA bombing campaign and the beginning of the 'fall of the house of Windsor'.
In Robinson in Space Robinson returns with his traveling companion and researcher to undertake a hugely enjoyable journey around England. He has been commissioned by an international advertising agency to investigate the 'problem of England'. Although this problem is never clearly stated - let alone solved - Keiller's beautifully framed images and Scofield's sly, deadpan narration take the viewer on an unpredictable exploration of the cultural and economic landscape.
