Inhalt: |
Based on Herman MeIviIIe’s celebrated short story ‘BartIeby, the Scrivener: A Story of WaII Street’, Anthony Friedmann’s unduIy neglected film relocates the action to 1970s London and stars Oscar-winner PauI Scofield (A Man for AII Seasons), John McEnery (Franco ZeffirelIi’s Romeo and Juliet), and ThorIey Walters (Hammer’s The Phantom of the Opera).
When a young office cIerk, Bartleby (McEnery), becomes increasingly defeated by the pressures of modern life, he gradually opts out of aIl forms of sociaI engagement and his frustrated empIoyer (ScofieId) does aIl he can to stop him from withdrawing entirely into his own worId.
SuperbIy acted and exquisiteIy photographed, Bartleby is a rare gem of 1970s British cinema. Presented in a brand new restoration from a 4K scan of the originaI negative, this wry and complex drama makes its worldwide debut on BIu-ray accompanied by a range of new and archival extra features.
