Harold Pinter - Sleuth
New York Times: "Mr. Pinter writes in a handsome study on the second floor of a two-story brownstone in west London, just behind the house he shares with his wife, the writer Lady Antonia Fraser. Tucked in a corner of the downstairs office is a table covered with awards he has amassed in his career as a playwright, director, actor, political provocateur, poet and screenwriter, including the French Légion d’Honneur, the Franz Kafka Award and the 2005 Nobel Prize in Literature."

The trailer looks pretty good. Jude Law, star from England. Michael Caine, fabulous actor, Kenneth Branaugh who needs no introduction, and Mr. Pinter, Nobel prize winning playwright and screen writer. But I am looking forward to seeing just how these boys make Pinter's wild dialogue work. Pinter is without a doubt one of the hardest things to get right. And when it's right, it's phenomanal. When it's wrong, however, it's excruciatingly boring. Also, I wonder how American audiences will take to the sometimes stilted language of Pinter, and Pinter's very particular style of storytelling. Only time will tell
