the white bus (1967)

aka Red, White and Zero.
An unnamed girl (Patricia Healey) decides to venture north from London. Once off the train she wanders the city watching its various inhabitants. She wanders into an area of demolished terraces when along comes a white bus and she gets on. It turns out to be a guided tour taking the Lord Mayor (Arthur Lowe) and other dignitaries on a tour of factories and leisure facilities. Following the tour the girl wanders the streets again and watches as a man tries to convince a girl to go out with him, unsuccessfully. The film ends with her sat in a cafe, eating chips as the cafe owners tidy up and try to close.
Developed from a story by Shelagh Delaney, this is a mostly wordless guide to an unnamed northern town (in fact Manchester). Anderson tries to use the film as a form of visual poetry, throwing in all means of metaphore and cutting arbitrarilly from black and white to colour. Its either a fascinating insight to a long gone Manchester as it reinvented itself in the mid sixties, or little more than a curio of its time, depending on your point of view.
