Review of The Swimmer (1968) by Paolo R — 21 Feb 2008
A man wanders from swimming pool to swimming pool all the way home in this fantastic and often surreal film. He encounters the owners of each pool, from old time friends to unpleasant neighbors, and with each a partial fragment of his personality is illuminated, though only equivocally, through a shroud.
As he nears home both his fortitude and the coviviality of his encounters becomes fractured, his quest becomes questionable. Sweet.
