Summary
The White Bus presents an absurdist satire of British society at the time. Tourists enter the bus and pass through the environments that make up everyday reality - a factory, a department store. For all its criticality, the film is essentially poetic, and there is no lack of evocation of Edouard Manet. Lindsay Anderson's close collaborator was Czech cinematographer Miroslav Ondříček. Alongside Forman's films, it was The White Bus that "launched" Ondříček's career in international film.
