Paid up and downloading now - fingers and toes crossed!
I watched it at the Young Vic this weekend - it's cheerful stuff (not!).
Thank you all for having convinced the film co to make it available for download.

Nomination of the Week[/u]
I have just watched VS for the 4th time
As before, I found this to be an exceptional piece of work with Rufus and Robert Glenister giving amazing performances.
The screen play by Harold Pinter is brilliantly written.
Excellently directed by the lovely Douglas Hodge.
I was held throughout but I am no nearer to understanding it than the first time I saw it.
I n fact I would say that the more I see it , the more theories I have about it and more questions left unanswered .

I watched VS several times before and now again and I was surprised that this time I understood a little bit more of the dialogues (English being not my native tongue). IMHO the film is brilliant - the performances, screen play and the directing. As to the understanding: I'd regard it as a kind of "Theatre of the Absurd" - which roughly spoken intends to convey that the human existence has no meaning or purpose and accordingly the play/film is illogical and irrational. For more details of this kind of theatre check wikipedia, please. To me this film simply means a lot of fun to watch - (in contrast to "Waiting for Godot" which is another play of this kind that I recently saw on stage). But if any of you sees a deeper meaning in it, please let me know. My favourite scene is when I see the tinyest trace of Rufus smiling in the rear mirror when he answers to his office. ;D And btw, everytime I saw a "minicab" sign induring my stay in London, I had to laugh, too. ;D |

I too watched again for the movie of the week.
I really enjoy this little snippet. I can't read anything sinister into it at all. It just amuses me. It never occurred that the girl might be dead in the back of the car, like it suggested in the write up LTM posted.
It's one of these works that is open to interpretation and you can make it anything you want to. The way I see it the taxi driver is fed up with driving around and has decided to have a break. He can't really be bothered with it all any more and in his view the jumped up twerp on the radio can take a hike!
He removed the hair from his jacket so gently. If he'd killed her would he be freaking out brushing it off hurriedly - or carefully placing it outside of the car?
Both Rufus and Robert were great and I love the way it was put together.
I bet it was great fun filming it.
