Temple's fragmented approach bespeaks the very nature of the place he's celebrating. For it seems that only through these wide variety of elements, these individual building blocks making a whole, that we can really get a sense of this remarkable city.

A distinct sort of time travelogue of the city's rougher patches ... the kind of doc that scores the suffragette movement to "Oh Bondage Up Yours!" by X-Ray Spex.

A movie to cherish.

A dizzying collage of all the changes in London's social and architectural fabric since light was first trained through celluloid.

A very heady experience.

This isn't the cinema's last word on London, but it will silence competitors for a few years to come.

Ultimately there's not enough invention or verve to set this apart from a competent TV documentary.

Audience Reviews for London: The Modern Babylon

Vibrante, vitalista, ambicioso y apabullante documental sobre la forja del Londres multicultural, una entidad compleja y con vida propia.
November 5, 2012
Really enjoyed this even if some of the politics seems a bit simplistic or reactionary. I loved the way it blended a hundred or so years.
