synopsis
The film is a metaphor for the way people hide or erase their personalities when commuting to
work. The central image of a man in a suit and hat with no face is doubtless a reference to René Magritte’s motif of the bowler-hatted man. short fact
The Commuter is also drastic reworking of an older film of mine called 'Shaving'. This new version was made especially for the ‘Going Underground’ festival of 90 second films on the Berlin U-Bahn in February 2003. A blow up onto 35mm has been made possible by a grant from The British Council’s Film and Television Department.Since then it has enjoyed about 25 international film festival screenings.
