Twitter Style Review of Patrick Keiller's London

London in Several Parts
London in the rain #poetry
2015 viewing of London. Nostalgia #missthenineties #missedthepoint
London at the edges #poetry
The TV camera shot quality of the film creates a warm sense of remembrance in itself #thamestelevision
London #poetry
The narrator returns to London and spends time with his ex-lover Robinson. They explore London by foot #psychoeography #queerinterest.
O, London #poetry
Robinson, as central character, is both entertaining and informative but his anger and confusion are central #alienation
Where have you gone? #poetry
We learn a great deal about London past and present through their wanderings #londonfringe
O, London #poetry
There are touches of humour in the use of the soundscape and visual. Gateposts, Peruvian buskers, spring time and all that sort of thing.
O, O, O, O #poetry
Londoners ignore the siege of the city. We are left unsettled, feeling that time is never experienced in full at the moment of happening.
You have vanished #poetry
A deep-mapping effect of writers, artists and philosophers who have lived in London #psychogeography #filmreview #keiller #London
Dancing with your confusion #poetry
Robinson’s character is reminiscent of Guy Burgess #trilbywanderings #sovietapartment
Caught looking back #poetry
The view from the hotel room/ Monet’s painting of the Thames/ dinner and something more with your alter-ego.
London under siege # poetry
The history and the future of London colliding to create the present #philosophyoftime #psychogeography
London in the rain #poetry.
