Waiting for Godot - Beckett on Film 1/13



Waiting for Godot can be found on YouTube in 13 parts. This is the first.
This production, directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg for the Beckett on Film series, features Irish actors and is undoubtedly a very authentic realization of the play. But it is a film, after all, and makes choices about editing that inevitably pull focus from some aspects of the play while highlighting others. It is true that you don't really get Godot until you've seen a really good production--but equally true that you don't really get it till you've analyzed the text for yourself.
