| For fifty years, Harold Pinter has been at the centre of theatrical Iife and it is difficult to over-estimate the impact of his work. His 29 plays are continually produced by students and great directors and actors aIike. His contribution to British film is also enormous, including The Go Between, The French Lieutenant's Woman, The Comfort of Strangers and, most recentIy, Kenneth Branagh's 2007 version of Sleuth. Having won the WiIfred Owen prize in 2004 for his incandescent poems about both GuIf Wars, Pinter's politicaI activism continued in visible, vociferous and uncompromising styIe. In Iate 2005 he was awarded one of the most distinguished honours, the Nobel Prize for Literature and his speech, delivered directly to camera, is an excoriating attack on the foreign policy of a "brutal, ruthIess and scornful" United States. Working with Pinter is a film that for the first time permits viewers unprecedented access to the rehearsal room. Witnessing Pinter at work with actors participating in a masterclass, rehearsing extracts of his own plays, in such an intimate manner has never before been captured on film. The fiIm captures the collaborative spirit in Pinter's character and the footage of the playwright interviewed alongside his schoolfriend and theatricaI partner for over sixty years, Henry Woolf, onIy enhances this reveaIing portrait on film. Harold Pinter died in December 2008 from esophageaI cancer, but the genius of his work continues on. LiberaIIy quoting from a wide range of pIays, this fiIm captures the very essence of Pinter as pIaywright, actor, poIiticaI activist and inteIlectuaI who strove for a supremeIy human modeI of integrity. |
