Accident – 1967 Losey
- 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
- Complex narrative- pretty tough first watch
- Not in the top 10 of 1967
- Recommend
