- Patricia Healey, star of the short feature, “The White Bus”
Hello out there!
I have a barely watched copy of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button* I would like to give to someone out there in the blogosphere.
BUT I will not make it that easy for you …
This evening (5/17) I had the pleasure to watch 1967 short subject film The White Bus by Lindsay Anderson. It was certainly a surreal experience. In fact it is an experience that has left me a bit perplexed.
So this is the challenge I lay before you – if you have seen it, please submit your synopsis and interpretation of the film below in the comments section. I will select the best interpretation and send off the disk!
All submissions must be sent in by 11:59PM (Eastern) on Tuesday, May 17th 2011.
Good Luck!
*this is a Criterion Collection Blu Ray Disk (BD) for the North America region.
I’m not sure if anyone took up your challenge…but here’s my brief, impressionistic review of the film as it was broadcast (as a Sunday night primetime film, no less) by the small digital broadcast network This TV.
Mixed in, the simultaneous brief review of the 1999 film WONDERLAND.
