THE SWIMMER (1968)

FRANK PERRY

Plot

A weird and mesmerising classic. Lancaster is the rich Connecticut suburbanite who "swims" home one day through the pools of his wealthy neighbours. Along the way he's forced to face some unpleasant truths from his past and present. Great performances, stylish camerawork and splendidly surreal.
