1. Truth serum.
2. Swedish movie.
3. Hotter in the forest.
Devastating. The ways in which it constantly flips between being “dated” and chillingly timely are enough to give you whiplash.
(Until this lost masterpiece gets a proper release, you’ll have to watch a cruddy VHS rip: archive.org/details/last-summer-69)

3 things about Frank Perry’s THE SWIMMER [1968]
1. “Why can’t we travel more?”
“What for? We’ve got everything we want right here.”
2. The man whispers something to Joan.
3. As the afternoon progresses he gets colder and colder.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge May 21: It's the end of the world on the #EndOfTheWorld
It's another schoolday in rural America when the #NuclearAttack alarm starts ringing. A teacher, instructed to calmly walk the kids home, tries to keep the youngest ones oblivious of the impending doom. While the children walk, talk and sing, this thing up there, in the sky and in the mind, grows bigger.

@BernieWonIowa I've seen 3 Frank Perry films so far (The Swimmer, Ladybug Ladybug, Last Summer) and all of them are hard to find, virtually unknown, and brilliant. Very VERY recommended.
#Bales2023FilmChallenge May 6: Ordering a beverage on #BeverageDay
At a poolside party, the swimmer appears. He notes that the houses in between his hosts' and his are connected by a “river” of pools and decides to swim home, from one pool to the other, foolishly, superficially meeting people, crashing suburban pool parties, increasingly irrational.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge March 25: Walking in #sand on #WalkInTheSandDay
During a summer vacation on #FireIsland, two young men come across Sandy, a young woman with an injured #seagull. While nursing the bird back to life, the relationship between the three deepens. A second girl, the much younger Rhoda (the breathtaking Catherine Burns) is taken in by the trio. Set almost entirely on a sunny #beach, Last Summer (Frank “The Swimmer” Perry, 1969) is one of the most claustrophobic films you may ever watch.
