Message: [QUOTE="Adrastia, post: 21329, member: 781"] The Swimmer. It might not be everybody's cup of tea. What with Burt Lancaster running around in nothing but skimpy swim trunks for the entire run time. But it is a bizarre and unsettling piece of cinema. [ATTACH]6332[/ATTACH] It's kind of hard to explain what is going on. Because the truth slowly unravels with every character Ned Merrill meets until you finally get to the conclusion I'd say it's a pretty satisfying end too. He comes to visit neighbors who haven't seen him in awhile and swim. He decides to visit all his friends by swimming from pool to pool since they all have one. He talks with friends and with each one you learn a little more about his life. There's nothing else really like it. It also features a young Joan Rivers in a small role. It's a pretty tense and bizarre film. It's not a horror. It's more like a psychological mystery about who Ned is and what is actually going on. [/QUOTE]
