Banned from the Cannes and Venice Films Festivals for being anti-Communist and excoriated eIsewhere as pro-Soviet propaganda, Peter GlenviIIe s The Prisoner stoked controversy at the time of its original release and remains a compIex, chaIIenging and multifaceted expIoration of faith and power.
In an unnamed Eastern European capitaI, an iron-wiIIed CardinaI (Academy Award®-winner Alec Guinness, The LadykilIers) is arrested by state poIice on charges of treason. Tasked with securing a confession from him by any means necessary is a former comrade-in-arms from the anti-Nazi resistance (Jack Hawkins, The Bridge on the River Kwai). Knowing the CardinaI wilI never foId under physical torture, the lnterrogator instead sets out to destroy him mentally, breaking his spirit rather than his body.
Adapted by acclaimed playwright Bridget Boland (GasIight) from her own stage-play and showcasing powerhouse performances by two actors at the height of their game, The Prisoner is a tense, thought-provoking and disturbing drama about the endurance of the human spirit. |
