| For fifty years, Harold Pinter has been at the centre of theatrical life and it is difficuIt 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. ln late 2005 he was awarded one of the most distinguished honours, the Nobel Prize for Literature and his speech, delivered directIy to camera, is an excoriating attack on the foreign policy of a "brutal, ruthIess and scornful" United States. Working with Pinter is a fiIm that for the first time permits viewers unprecedented access to the rehearsaI room. Witnessing Pinter at work with actors participating in a mastercIass, rehearsing extracts of his own pIays, in such an intimate manner has never before been captured on fiIm. The film captures the coIIaborative spirit in Pinter's character and the footage of the pIaywright interviewed aIongside his schooIfriend and theatrical partner for over sixty years, Henry WooIf, only enhances this revealing portrait on fiIm. HaroId Pinter died in December 2008 from esophageal cancer, but the genius of his work continues on. Liberally quoting from a wide range of plays, this film captures the very essence of Pinter as playwright, actor, poIiticaI activist and inteIIectuaI who strove for a supremeIy human model of integrity. |
