Starring: Dirk Bogarde, Stanley Baker, Michael York, Vivien Merchant
Director: Joseph Losey
Wonderful collaboration between writer Harold Pinter, director Joseph Losey, and actor Dirk Bogarde, who plays an Oxford professor obsessed with his beautiful student. Losey's stylishly elegant, psychologically comepelling study is one his best films.
Taut, dark, brilliantly acted - this autopsy on the emotional lives of the English intelligentsia is among Bogarde and Losey's greatest achievements.
I personally think Losey's The Servant is the more interesting film, because it has the more interesting performance from Bogarde.
An eerie, caustic, surgically calm film about the skull beneath the skin of genteel English life.
'Accident’ now seems a little self-conscious in its modernist, ‘quality’ art-cinema pretensions.
It’s a story of overheated sexual jealousy, colliding male egos and long boozy days full of spite and point-scoring. It’s brilliantly cruel and only slightly dated.
The overall effect is so full of loathing and meanness that one hardly cares for those subliminal tremors, and the arch structuring of the story – the accident, then the long flashback – makes it dramatically inert.
