The Birthday Party

1968 PG-13 2h 3m 6.4

The down-at-heel lodger in a seaside boarding house is menaced by two mysterious strangers, who eventually take him away.

Based on Harold Pinter's enigmatic play about a border in a British seaside dwelling who is visited by two strangers. They torment him verbally, ask him idiotic unanswerable questions, force him to sit down and stand up, and give him a "party." Then, eventually, they take him away, a tongue-tied idiot. The trivial becomes the terrible, and with it a certain wonder, a certain pity.
