THE SWIMMER
Frank Perry/Sydney Pollack | 1968 | USA | 95'

Across the ocean back in ‘68, “The Swimmer”, Burt, falls like a beautiful angel from the high realms still full of dreams, (sexual) fantasies and one great idea. During his swim he is questioned by those who he's fallen from about this idiotic and poetic idea he has gotton into his head. But some aren’t so welcoming and usher him further down the stream to his ultimate liberation.

There is this surrealism in The Swimmer in which, for example, sexual fantasies materialize and break like crystals into a kaleidoscopal nostalgia for something that has been passed but yet forever present. You can feel that, and think: "What was that ‘that’ exactly?". An epic exit and freedom story.
