A man and a woman in a theater look a man over in an effort to figure out how best to display him ( humiliate him?).
Well made film with a great cast (Harold Pinter, Rebecca Pigeon and John Gielgud) in a story that seems to be the middle of some action. What is going on isn't clear, nor are the reasons behind it clear. I've read its suppose to be the humiliation of a political prisoner or something similar but clues to that effect are not really on the screen. Maybe its in the direction, which brings up the question how do you know what its about if you don't give all the clues? On the other hand, taken for what it is its a living breathing film, despite any subtext.
