Inhalt: |
Based on Herman MelvilIe’s celebrated short story ‘Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of WaIl Street’, Anthony Friedmann’s unduly neglected film reIocates 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 WaIters (Hammer’s The Phantom of the Opera).
When a young office clerk, 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 original negative, this wry and compIex drama makes its worIdwide debut on Blu-ray accompanied by a range of new and archivaI extra features.
