Essential Cinema: Paper Moon & The Swimmer
Upcoming selections in the Northwest Film Center’s Essential Cinema series. Director Frank Perry’s 1968 riff on a John Cheever short story, the weird and wonderful The Swimmer finds channing-but-disconcerting suburbanite Ned Merrill (Burt Lancaster) just kind of... showing up in his neighbors’ backyards and swimming pools.
Includes these movies:
- The Swimmer (1968)
- Paper Moon (1973)
