Along with ’’Robinson In Space’’ Patrick Keiller has made two unique films which explore the relationships between the urban environment and the human soul. Beautifully shot, London portrays the city exactly as it is to live in: dilapidated, shabby and reconstituting itself from a hybrid of ideological nastiness and poetic bohemianism. It’s a lovely, funny film which also makes a number of serious points about the hidden forces that underpin our own understandings of Englishness – marv!

This one’s a gem. Take a journey around post-industrial Britain in the company of Robinson (an unseen reclusive academic partial to sexual encounters on the internet, good coffee and Marks and Spencer lunches) and the unamed narrator as they explore the way in which globalisation and the shift to the information economy has altered the landscape. It’s very funny and very acutely observed – like Laurie Anderson meets Antonio Negri on the set of a 1950s information film about nuclear power.
