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
I appreciate the artistry, but I also appreciate this: if the shade had kept its promise and comforted him, he wouldn't have felt the need to move. Fucking shade!
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.
i was watching this and my 3 year old nephew insisted on watching and sat down for the whole thing ive never seen him do that then he pointed the hat and coat and said is that the hat from the story is that the coat and i realized somthing that i did not realize the first time
This is absolutely wonderful. The man could read the bloody phone book, and I'd be happy. But when it's something like this- well, suffice to say I am quite pleased. Thanks so much for uploading. C:

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

When an Actor powerfull like Irons do a text powerfull like Beckett´s one, it´s no suprise that the result is magic!
