Movie Reviews of The Go-Between [Non-US Format, PAL, Region 2, Import]
Movie Review: The Go-Between
Summary: 5 Stars
The Go-Between is one of the most beautiful movies ever made and is faithful to the wonderful book written by LP Hartley. The film stars Julie Christie, an aristocrat's daughter and Alan Bates, the sharecropper farmer who are in love, and marks the summer when an eleven year old boy from a poorer background visits his classmate at the country estate.The eleven year old, Leo, played by Dominck Guard is superb. Leo is also in love with Julie Christie but doesn't understand that the notes he has agreed to deliver for her have a much deeper meaning on many levels. Leo learns a lot that summer, for instance, that "the past is a like a foreign country, they do things differently there."
I so wish this movie was available in the U.S. on DVD. It is one of my favorites. -Brenda Pizzo

Please read the item technical description carefully. ----------------------------------- Synopsis: Writer Harold Pinter and director Joseph Losey always hoped to make an adaptation of Proust's A la Recherche du Temps Perdu. Their version of L.P. Hartley's novel The Go-Between offers tantalising hints as to how the Proust film might have turned out. An old man (Michael Redgrave) thinks back to a summer many years before when, as a young boy, he stayed with the aristocratic Maudsley family in their beautiful house in the Norfolk countryside. On the threshold of adolescence, intensely curious about sex, he became the go-between for Marian Maudsley (Julie Christie) and local farmer Ted Burgess (Alan Bates) as they conducted an affair behind the backs of the Maudsley family. This is a slow-moving but beguiling story of lost innocence. There's a subtlety and intelligence here rarely found in British costume dramas. The filmmakers go to enormous lengths to recreate Edwardian England, but never allow the period detail to stifle the storytelling. Although life with the Maudsleys seems idyllic--an endless round of picnics, cricket matches and parties--there is always an undercurrent of violence. The Maudsleys are inveterate snobs. The terrifying Mrs Maudsley (played by Margaret Leighton) simply can't countenance the idea that her daughter would have an affair with a man so far beneath her on the social scale as Burgess. The little boy carries the messages between the lovers without ever quite understanding how explosive their contents are.DVD Video
