Robinson, a mysterious explorer of our civilization, moves through the landscapes of southern England reflecting on the ruins of the past and the fates of modern urbanization. After London (1994) and Robinson in Space (1997), with this work Patrick Keiller (a well-known architect, filmmaker and essayist across the Channel) closes a very personal trilogy devoted to observing the natural and urban landscape of the contemporary world.
A film-essay compelling from the conceptual point of view and seductive from the aesthetic one, in which science, art, philosophy, history and culture of the earth are mixed. A resounding example of the testimonial value of cinema, a macro-novel that Patrick Keiller transmits to posterity by relying on the gaze of his “diegetic double” Robinson.
