very good point, but this is a different medium.This is not taking place on a stage,with an audience only metres away, there is a division,a seperation,that changes everything.there is an extra barrier that must be crossed, and while I totally empathise with the idea that an amplification in style isn't welcomed,the downplay of 'the overall effort at being meaningful' would not translate very well.the piece suffers as it would suffer from moving to this medium, but it suffers no more then that.

jeremy irons is brilliant in this

ah, this is brilliant! I can't see anyone even coming close to this in the U.S. The society in the U.S. is so narrow-minded they couldn't understand, nor appreciate this kind of Artistry if it hit the average american in the face.lol

It is always wiser to follow Beckett's directions if one hasn't anything superior to offer (and as this production proves again, technology isn't the answer). The double Mr Irons is a promising start but without deep make-up work he is too young for the role on film (this is Beckett's last personal "impromptu" as an old dying soul before his last, final, parables) and Listener's over acting and Reader's glimpses (and the production's overall effort at beeing "meaningful") are just in vain.

He's so good that even at the end when they're facing each other silently, you can still tell which one is pleading for comfort and which one looks back wishing he could offer some.

Hats off to Ireland for producing the greatest modern playwrite of our times-the inimitable,the brilliant aned devastatingly intelligence of Mr Samuel Beckett.

"nie ma hafciarka" - writing this sentence in youtube and watching polish film was a screening of dramas by Samuel Beckett.
