One of the most influential playwrights of the twentieth century brings his celebrated Pinter pauses and anxious ambiguity to the screen in these masterful dramas that quiver with quotidian menace. Having conquered the British stage with landmark works like THE BIRTHDAY PARTY and THE CARETAKER, Harold Pinter embarked on a long and successful screenwriting career that included brilliantly unsettling collaborations with director Joseph Losey (THE SERVANT, ACCIDENT) and acclaimed adaptations of novels by writers like Ian McEwan (THE COMFORT OF STRANGERS). Rife with Pinter’s signature themes of power and control, these films are an indispensable part of the monumental legacy of an artist who exposed the tensions lurking beneath the surface of everyday life.
