Figures In A Landscape (15)

Lucy Raven: Rounds

,Cinema 2
Figures in a Landscape

Malcolm McDowell and Robert Shaw star as two escaped convicts fleeing across a desolate, unnamed landscape, relentlessly hunted by a helicopter in Joseph Losey’s haunting and enigmatic thriller.

Stripped of conventional narrative details, Joseph Losey's Figures In A Landscape has no backstory, no clear motivation, and no explanation for who’s chasing the convicts. The film plunges the viewer into a world defined by ambiguity and tension, creating a persistent atmosphere of dread and paranoia that transforms the cat-and-mouse pursuit into a haunting meditation on surveillance, power, and the fragile nature of human freedom under invisible control.

Selected by North American artist Lucy Raven to accompany her exhibition Rounds, Losey’s portrayal of vast, impersonal landscapes, seen through the unblinking eye of the helicopter, offers a stark counterpoint to Raven’s own explorations of land, space, and the material scars left by extractive industry.
