This screening is part of the Harold Pinter season. You can find the full details here.
BFI Southbank introduction:
Pinter’s 1971 stage play makes perfect television in that it combines an intimate power-battle with a hallucinatory framework. On one level, we watch a verbal, physical and musical battle between a successful filmmaker (Malkovich) and a house-guest (Richardson) over possession of the former’s wife (Nelligan). But the play also shows all three characters re-creating the past according to the psychological and tactical needs of the moment.
