By Our Selves
导演: 安德鲁·克廷 演员: 托比·琼斯 / 弗雷迪·琼斯
其它标题: By Our Selves / 바이 아워 셀브즈
By Our Selves documents a four-day walk made by the English Poet John Clare. Toby Jones, Iain Sinclair and a Straw Bear follow in his footsteps exactly 150 years after his death. En route they bump into Macgillivray, Dr Simon Kovesi and the wizard Alan Moore. Meantime the journey is narrated by Toby’s father Freddie, a maverick actor who featured in numerous David Lynch films.
John Clare’s escape from Epping Forest; an epic march through hunger and madness, is an English journey to set beside ‘A Pilgrim’s Progress’. Andrew Kötting, hyperkinetic camper-van captain of Gallivant, sets out in hot pursuit, dressed as a Straw Bear. Father and son, Freddie and Toby Jones, are possessed by the spirit of Clare, and locked in Beckettian embrace: one all-voice and one all-mute.
The writer Iain Sinclair watches from the shadows, Alan Moore waits like a bearded figure of fate, in Northampton and Dr Simon Kovesi hands out the medicine. Captured in lustrous black and white photography, they discover the only truth of the road; whatever our hopes and delusions, we are always by ourselves. The film is inspired by Iain Sinclair’s Edge of the Orison and John Clare’s Journey out of Essex.
London Overground (2016) [电影] 豆瓣
导演: John Rogers 演员: Iain Sinclair / 安德鲁·克廷
London Overground retraces legendary London writer Iain Sinclair's journey with film-maker Andrew Kötting around the Overground railway for the book of the same name. The film follows Sinclair reprising the walk over the course of a year rather than the day's walk of the book. Sinclair describes the 'Ginger Line' as the 'spin-drier of capitalism whirling bank notes around the city - a real moment to look at this city of unreal money' where a new city is emerging. The recently completed Overground circuit provides 'a tiny little map of what is happening now' in London. What emerges from the film is a snapshot of the city in transition and also a unique insight into the most important chronicler of contemporary Londoner. 'The city' Sinclair says at one point, 'is a series of psychic mappings that reinforce our own identity'.
