The Shout (1978)
Country: GB
Technical: col 87m
Director: Jerzy Skolimowski
Cast: Alan Bates, Susannah York, John Hurt, Robert Stephens, Tim Curry
Synopsis:
One of the scorers at a cricket match between inmates and locals at a mental hospital tells his opposite number a strange tale of how he seduced a woman through sorcery and demonstrated his 'terror shout' for her husband, a modern composer of abstract sounds.
Review:
Multi-layered intellectual conundrum, which ends up being just too elusive about what it is driving at. The performances are a little flat, even stilted, perhaps on account of the Polish director's ear for the language, but the central premise is intriguing.
