      Audience Member Fascinating, especially for Anglophiles. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member After 'London' Robinson and the narrator continue their journey, visiting most of England and popping fleetingly over the Channel. This is a delightful film which made me feel very homesick. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Koyaanisqatsi with aphorisms instead of Glass. Interesting. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Particularly interesting *now* given draconian English policies in re: filming, well, anything. Would it be possible, now, to make a travelogue of England concentrating on prisons, "defense" and surveillance installations, factories, ports, and nuclear power plants? Highly unlikely. Much more interesting than Ross McElwee's Sherman's March. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Great pyschogeographic journey around England. Along with 'London', Keiller has produced a fascinating investigation of the land. The late Paul Scofield's narration adds gravitas. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member if u dont mind a long drawn out documentary its really interesting... otherwise you'll hate it!!!
