Capital Celluloid 2018 - Day 222: Mon Aug 20

Accident (Losey, 1967): BFI Southbank, Studio, 8.50pm


This film, which is part of the Pinter season (full details here), is also screened on August 1st and 10th (full details here).

Chicago Reader review:
Joseph Losey's coldly funny puzzle movie (1967), about the erotic entanglements of Oxford as superbly entangled by scenarist Harold Pinter. Dirk Bogarde's crumbling don is the sharpest of the many similar performances he has given, and Stanley Baker is superbly chunky as Bogarde's rival for a young Austrian student (Jacqueline Sassard). With Vivien Merchant, Michael York, Delphine Seyrig, and Alexander Knox.
