Pinteresque, Picaresque and Picturesque
From the very first shot Losey lets us know that to get the most from this film it’s not what you see, but what you perceive, that matters. The opening shot of a country house is held steady for our eyes whilst the sound of an approaching (speeding) car and, inevitably, the grinding of metal on gravel as the accident happens, dominates our hearing. And so it is for the rest of the film. What is important is not, necessarily, what we see, but what we discern.

The complexities of the relationships between the main characters, the effect on all of them brought by the simple presence of Anna (Sassard), their infidelities and insecurities all contribute to make this a spell-binding 100 minutes or so of classic cinema.

The spare, Pinteresque, dialogue inspires the viewer to attempt to untangle the dynamics between the characters. Some poignant photography (for instance, the symmetry of Anna and Stephen (Bogarde) as they gaze out over picturesque English countryside whilst leaning on a gate but, at the same time, teasing us as to whether or not they will draw closer,) adds to our desire for a better understanding of these people and their relationships.

The photography of rooms shot from odd angles (indeed, some of these shots seem designed to accentuate the angles of the characters every bit as much as the rooms themselves) all contribute to a complex web of relationships. Some sexy, sixties sax from John Dankworth adds an appropriate musical blend to the whole. And how many times does Stephen say to others `What are you doing?’ as he strives to come to terms with his own infidelities and insecurities, let alone those of all those around him?

It’s an intense, but approachable, movie with little concession to humour, save perhaps for a couple of comments from Stanley Baker’s picaresque character, Charley. But don’t let that put you off; this is intelligent, challenging cinema, a welcome refuge from the shoot ‘em up stream of movies we’ve become used to over the years.

‘flashback’ movie
Not as well known or as revered as the earlier Pinter, Losey collaboration, The Servant (1963) but equally fine. Harold Pinter’s script is sparse and concise but its meaning clear and menacing. Indeed at times, such is the clarity of language and the depth of our understanding that we seem to know more clearly what is going on than those on the screen. It is some time since I last saw this and remembered little of the comings and goings but I remembered much of the dialogue and found myself, in the pauses, knowingly anticipating as one might have the next track on a vinyl LP. The script is perfection, Losey’s direction very understanding and in complete harmony, Johnny Dankworth’s music is effective but not over used and everyone performs well. Bogarde is as good as ever, the underrated Stanley Baker on top form and Jacqueline Sassard does very well in the difficult role, bouncing about between these competing males. Mostly shot in house, garden and college but there is a fine punting sequence and although on the surface not a lot seems to happen, it is surprising just how much does in this ‘flashback’ movie.
