Bruno Ganz Retrospective
In the White City Screening
INFORMATION
In The White City by Alain Tanner (1983, 108 mins, with English subtitles), will be the last film of seven presented during this retrospective. Ganz, that great loner of modernist cinema, plays a Swiss seaman who jumps ship in Lisbon, gets involved with a barmaid, and sends reels of home movies back to his wife and feels adrift in the exotic White City. The home movies, accompanied by Jean-Luc Barbier's beautiful, hard-edged jazz score, terrifyingly reflect the disintegration of a man in flight from himself. A teasingly simple film that compels and stimulates. TIME OUT©
