004 | The Swimmer: Frank Perry's Critique of the American Dream | Bryan Starr

EPISODE 004


APPLE | SPOTIFY

1968's “The Swimmer,” a bizarre and surreal drama by Frank and Eleanor Perry, is a cross between an Old Hollywood film and a member of Hollywood's New Wave. This Burt Lancaster-starring flick depicts the fading American dream while also illustrating the suppression of reality, the passage of time, and the fear that comes with that.
