London

Patrick Keiller’s wholly original journey through the UK capital is both a paean to the city and a critique of what it has come to represent.

Paul Scofield’s narrator, accompanied by his fictional friend and one-time lover Robinson, journeys through the British capital. His musings, as Keiller’s camera passes through various boroughs, cover art and culture, politics and social movements, all of which played a role in the development of the sprawling metropolis. This captivating portrait, beautifully shot and mischievously witty, is a frank and occasionally wistful love letter to an ever-changing city.

‘It was a film made about a place that I recognised – my city – but revealed it in a completely new way to me.’ – AK
