Silent snapshots depicting the diversity of London.

Phil Hoad

Guardian

Organising his shots into thematic blocks - nostalgic byways, religion, bins - Barrett has the knack of drawing out visual details that cause nice eddies in the film's melancholy flow.

Rated: 3/5

One Room With A View

A beautiful yet not idealistic celebration of London, and an historical record for the future.

Rated: 4/5

As a salute to London, Barrett's work is to be celebrated in itself.

Rated: 4/5

The magic of the film is that it finds the drama of London in the places we seldom look - building sites, old brutalist apartment blocks, underground escalators and scaffolds.

Rated: 4/5

A good city symphony, but far from the cinematic heights of its predecessors. Watch it to feel better about London.

Rated: 3/5

Total Film

The 'city symphony' genre that flourished in the '20s is made over in a monochrome montage from director-editor Alex Barrett, offering a view of London life spanning the city's architecture, wildlife, religions and nightspots.

Rated: 4/5
