The Birthday Party 1968 Beginning

[@ajs41]

Pinter deserves the Nobel Prize just for these 14 minutes.

[@michaeldevaney5728]

Absolutely excellent film extremely unique a masterpiece

[@secret.mission]

Is the cornflakes missing the bowl a Pinter thing or Friedkin thing... or Tarantino? Lol

[@1958RBS]

Far prefer the casting of Dandy Nicholls to Joan Plowright.

[@Gloomy.Sunday217]

Robert Shaw, recently watched him in Pinter's, The Caretaker. So good

More!

[@nocount1]

Wow! Dandy Nichols! I've never seen her in anything but Britcoms of that period.

[@Resenbrink]

She does a bloody good job as well

[@richardgale4827]

This really is a measure of how subtly great she was.

[@gregfox336]

This is more prevalent now, with sjw, and cancel culture, if you're different and have your own opinion, then this is what happens, all along the line. Do as you're told. Pinter and friedkin are at there best.

Gren is that you mate?

Anymore? I'd really like to see the film before I buy it, looks brilliant though.

[@ajs41]

It is brilliant. The whole thing is on KZbin.

Nice opening shot!

She's got that Edith Bunker double-chin down pat!

I had no idea William Friedkin had directed an Amicus Production.

[@robjavier8064]

appalling film with laughably schizo characters

[@johnlawrence2757]

It’s actually an appallingly inadequate production. The director has no idea what the play is about, there’s been little or no rehearsal, so the cast haven’t even begun to come to grips with their characters. But Moultrie Kelsall had a lovely little coffee shop in Edinburgh where you could get a decent cappuccino and a nice scone. Hardly surprising that the director went on to make The Excorcist

[@gregfox336]

Wow you don't understand it. Its about being forced to conform. It's brilliant.

[@robjavier8064]

@@gregfox336 Which is ironic isn't it - because you are being forced to confirm (because luvvie movie critics adored it) Wake up , free yourself from the BS

[@gregfox336]

Mr Javier, I've loved this play since I was 15, growing up on Merseyside, I can appreciate brilliance when I see it luvvies be damned, you don't get it because intelligence.

Rob Javier gives a brutal thumbs-down to LIFE.
