Top Drawer British Realism
One of the best of the so-called “kitchen-sink” films, THE L-SHAPED ROOM is nearly perfect. The set decoration probably deserved an award for the way it evokes, with poetry, the incredibly realistic environment of a down-and-out London rooming house. As many commentators have noted, this film avoids clichés and gives us real-seeming characters played by gifted actors. There is not a single weak link in the cast, with Tom Bell, Avis Bunnage, Brock Peters, Cicely Courtneige among others providing so many memorable moments. At the heart of the film is Leslie Caron in an award-nominated performance that is not likely to be forgotten by anyone who sees it. This is a performance that elicits true feeling, done with a kind of invisible artistry, so it seems completely real. Bryan Forbes, one of Britain’s finest directors of the period, paces the film well, relying on Caron and others to fill what may have been longueurs with true meaning. The only criticism is the use of the Brahms First Piano Concerto in the soundtrack. The surging romanticism, while appealing in itself, doesn’t fit very well with the mood of the film, apart from a couple of quiet scenes. It’s certainly not a big problem, only it seems an odd musical choice. A deeply affecting, unforgettable film.

Viva Brahms!
I was a tender 14 years old in 1962, when I accompanied my mentor (my high school Spanish teacher) to an art house movie theater in Greenwich Village to see this film. My only previous encounter with Leslie Caron had been in the wonderfully entertaining film “Gigi”. I must say, this two hour spectacle of unrelieved misery came as quite a shock to me. I left the theater thinking I had just seen the most depressing film I had ever seen in my life. And yet…I loved it! In fact, I felt very grown up at having survived it. This would not have been possible without the aid of the movie’s soundtrack, Brahm’s Piano Concerto No.1, which my astonished ears heard for the first time that evening. I’ve been in love with that piece–and with Brahms–ever since.
