ACCIDENT (1967)

CertificationPG Our Rating

A languid Oxford summer is the background to this self-assured treatment of Harold Pinter's screenplay. A calm veneer of civilization is laboriously peeled away after an undergraduate is killed in a car crash, setting the six central characters, (three men, two wives and a girl), at odds as they gradually tear each other to shreds. Superb performances and a disconcertingly urbane atmosphere. find out more...

Russia, 1936: revolutionary hero Colonel Kotov is spending an idyllic summer in his dacha with his young wife and six-year-old daughter Nadia and other assorted family and friends. Things change dramatically with the unheralded arrival of Cousin Dmitri from Moscow, who charms the women and little Nadia with his games and pianistic bravura.
