The Man from London - 35mm
Adapted from Belgian mystery master Georges Simenon’s 1934 novel and codirected by <b>Béla Tarr’s </b>wife, <b>Ágnes Hranitzky</b>, <i>The Man from London </i>centers on everyman railway operator Maloin (<b>Miroslav Krobot</b>), whose observation tower affords him a godlike view of the dockside terminus. One night, Maloin witnesses a murder that places him in possession of a briefcase filled with English currency. But what seems like a windfall from the heavens racks him with guilt and suspicion, and increasingly disconnects him from his wife (<b>Tilda Swinton</b>) and daughter (<b>Erika Bók</b>). Meanwhile, a British detective (<b>István Lénárt</b>) is hunting down the stolen money. With hypnotic long takes and sinuous camera movements, <i>The Man from London</i> infuses film noir with Tarr’s signature meditations on morality and meaning in an uncertain, dread-addled world. <div><br></div><div>Hungarian with English subtitles. </div><div><br></div><div>Screening as part of our <a href="https://www.glasgowfilm.org/bleak-week">Bleak Week: Cinema of Despair</a> season, presented in partnership with the American Cinematheque and Prince Charles Cinema.<br></div>MysteryPT2H19M12A2026-06-25Miroslav Krobot
