Using the sensibility defined by the flâneur in the nineteenth century as the background, this paper will analyze Patrick Keiller’s films, approaching them from the perspective of the travelogue as a documentary subgenre and relating them to the concept of landscape. His “fictionalized documentaries” are direct heirs to the urban wanderer’s (essentially modern) conscience and sensibility. His travelogues demonstrate a consistent exploration of the relationship between architectonic and filmic spaces. Keiller’s oeuvre can also be associated with a sort of movement in British culture in the last thirty years: that of the observation and analysis of cities, urban life and postwar urbanism, and of critical instance to the sedimentation of post-Thatcherite capitalism.
