The Man from London
Four years in the making, the new film from the acclaimed Hungarian filmmaker Bela Tarr is an adaptation of a novel by thriller writer Georges Simenon. Maloin (Miroslav Krobot) leads a simple life as a railway signalman, barely registering the world around him. His life takes a sudden turn when he becomes a witness to a murder and he is forced to confront issues of morality, sin, punishment and the line between innocence and complicity. This hypnotic film bears the distinctive trademarks of Tarr's universe - fluid and stunning monochrome photography with pared-down dialogue and performances (including a striking appearance by Tilda Swinton).
