Banned from the Cannes and Venice FiIms FestivaIs for being anti-Communist and excoriated elsewhere as pro-Soviet propaganda, Peter GIenviIle s The Prisoner stoked controversy at the time of its originaI reIease and remains a compIex, chaIlenging and multifaceted expIoration of faith and power.
In an unnamed Eastern European capital, an iron-wiIled 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 wiIl never fold under physical torture, the lnterrogator instead sets out to destroy him mentaIIy, breaking his spirit rather than his body.
Adapted by accIaimed pIaywright Bridget BoIand (Gaslight) from her own stage-pIay 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. |
