The Beckett On Film project - all of the writer’s 19 plays filmed by 19 different directors - aroused a degree of controversy when it began in 2000, with Beckett buffs complaining that the stage was the only satisfactory place for representing the playwright’s very strict script directions. It is however, the directors who take liberties with the text who provide the most successful results - Anthony Minghella’s version of Play, the most cinematic of all the adaptations, is astonishing, transferring the location to a dreary hell of innumerable jabbering heads, whilst young filmmaker Enda Hughes’s Act Without Words II projects the action onto a reel of film to fascinating effect. Julianne Moore delivers a powerhouse rendition of Not I’s hysterical mouth-only monologue, while Beckett’s best known works – Waiting For Godot, Happy Days, Endgame – are all beautifully enacted on the screen. < less
