Movie Reviews of The Caretaker [Region 2]
Movie Review: Fascinating script!
Summary: 5 Stars
Clive Donner directed this singular project with three singual and talented actors. Donald Shuterland is an old derelict who is invited to spend the night in a rundown London house with two neurotic brothers.
A promising chamber work which explores the dark corners of the human soul. Think about; we are talking about Harold Pinter this true scalpel of the human psyche. As curious fact this work was financed by Noel Coward, Richard Burton. Elizabeth taylor, Peter Sellers and Leslie Caron.
Summary of The Caretaker [Region 2]
United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Black & White, Cast/Crew Interview(s), Commentary, Interactive Menu, Making Of, SYNOPSIS: The Guest is a filmed adaptation of the Harold Pinter play of the same name. Donald Pleasence plays a laconic tramp, who is invited to stay in the home of Robert Shaw, on the implied promise that he, Pleasence, will be hired as caretaker. Shaw's off-in-the-coop brother Alan Bates is delighted to have Pleasence around...to 'play' with. In the manner of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Shaw and Bates uses Pleasence as a punching bag for their own hang-ups. Photographed with the proper degree of claustrophobia by Nicolas Roeg, The Caretaker was independently produced by a celebrity consortium including Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Peter Sellers, and Noel Coward.
