VHS Movie Reviews of Betrayal
Movie Review: A Masterpiece: No play will ever surpass this look at infidelity, friendship, and trust
Summary: 5 Stars
Three people, intertwined by friendship, marriage, and work, live with the realities and consequences of the extra-marital affair between two of them. The story is told in reverse, covering a nine year period.
This is one of those plays and films that only gets better with repeated viewing. Over the years, more and more questions have come to mind that compel a repeated viewing of the movie (or reading of the play) in the hope of finding the answers. On some points, the movie is remains as unfathomable as Mona Lisa's smile.
The acting in this movie is beyond wonderful. When you read the play, you can appreciate even more how much the actors do to portray the author's intentions and to make the film such a masterpiece.
I never get tired of this film - it is a marvel of genius on the part of the playwright Harold Pinter, the director, and all three actors. It is also a wonderful and restorative retreat from much of what passes for entertainment on television and in movies as well.
This movie must be seen far more than one time to fully appreciate it.
