The Swimmer

	The Swimmer
	by Sony Pictures Sales Rank: 24520 Price: $19.94

Burt Lancaster gives one of his most daringly complex performances in <I>The Swimmer</I>, a fascinating adaptation of John Cheever's celebrated short story. At first it seems that middle-aged businessman Ned Merrill (Lancaster) is merely enjoying a spontaneous adventure, swimming from pool to pool among the well-tended estates of his affluent Connecticut neighborhood. But as Ned encounters a variety of neighbors, we see from their reactions that Ned's on an entirely different kind of journey--that he is balanced on the edge of some mysterious psychosis that we can't fully understand until the film's final, devastating image. A compelling portrait of loss, refracted memories, and deep-rooted emotional denial, <I>The Swimmer</I> sprung from the same late-'60s soil that yielded similarly ground-breaking literary films like <I>The Graduate</I> and <I>Goodbye, Columbus</I>. It's an egotistical showcase for the physical prowess of its 55-year-old star, but Lancaster turns it into something deeper, more disturbing, and completely unforgettable. <I>--Jeff Shannon</I> *Viewer Reviews* HOW CAN I SWIM IN A SWEATER!?! you'll be repeating this question to yourself for years to come...
