Sporcunun hayatı

ÖZET

Director Lindsay Anderson's first feature film is his best, giving Richard Harris and Rachel Roberts the roles of their lives. Harris stars as the miner who becomes a ruthless professional rugby player; Roberts plays the repressed, widowed landlady with whom he can only communicate through violence. Adapted from David Storey's novel, it includes some remarkable scenes of confrontation - one particular quarrel between the two is painfully honest - and the northern town where it all takes place is as evocatively depicted as the setting of that other kitchen-sink classic Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (which producer Karel Reisz directed). This numbers among the early ripples of the British New Wave and it still hits hard.
