MISS JULIE (Fröken Julie)
dir: Alf Sjöberg 1951 Sweden 90 minutes subtitles

Adapted from the play - banned in Britain until 1939 - by August Strindberg, this chronicle of the romance between aristocrat and servant in rural Sweden at the end of the nineteenth century vividly evokes the controversy and intensity of its notorious source.

IN THE WHITE CITY (Dans La Ville Blanche)
dir: Alain Tanner 1983 Switzerland subtitles

The compelling study of a disorientated traveller who impulsively comes to a standstill in Lisbon and his efforts to obliterate his past and perpetuate his rootless existence; the film is a portrait not just of a confused mind but also of a complex and incomprehensible city.
