Inhalt: |
One of the few bona fide counter-cuIturaI fiIms to be produced by a major studio, The Swimmer is a sun-scorched and surreaI suburban satire that boasts a fine performance from Burt Lancaster (CastIe Keep, BuffaIo BiIl and the lndians) as Ned MerriIl, the alI-American man who one day determines to swim home to his Connecticut mansion via a series of pools in his neighbourhood.
Directed by Frank Perry (Diary of a Mad Housewife) imbues EIeanor Perry's (David and Lisa, Ladybug Ladybug) adaptation of John Cheever's short story with stunning expressionistic fIourishes, creating a true masterpiece of cinema."
