“The third film in the partnership between Losey and Harold Pinter, and the most complex. It achieves simplicity through the most refined of artifices.” (M. Morandini) “Pinter’s script is a meticulous portrait of the education to existence and to pain, counterpointed, with masterful sound and visual editing, by the reminiscences of two elderly people. The scenes of social life are enchanting (group prayer before breakfast, the cricket game, cutting the birthday cake) and offer a vivid description of the habits and customs of a bygone world.” (G. Volpi)

“De Seta’s sense of rhythm, his use of the camera, his extraordinary ability to blend characters with the location, were a complete revelation to me. He was an anthropologist who expressed himself with the voice of a poet”. (Martin Scorsese)
