It opens with a powerful shot with accident audio off camera and a great dolly shot focusing in on the house
From that strong opening there’s a real sense of strong framing with the bottle of whiskey, car, and bodies thrown from the accident
The film as a whole is ultra-austere- just so understated and English- Bogarde is a big part of that with his manicured and internalized performance- he’s like a tea kettle slowly boiling after the woman he loves/lusts sleeps with basically everyone around him except him
Heavily ambiguous and implied
Interesting long sequence of acting with the two actors in the scene doing voice over of their feelings while the models (themselves) in the scene don’t say anything
[…] Accident – Losey […]
