ACCIDENT (1967)
JOSEPH LOSEY
Plot
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.
