The Servant

“The Servant. Cracking movie. All about the British class system. Full of tension and microscopic attention to detail. It’s about power play. The shift of power in a relationship. Really stands the test of time. Very interesting that Joseph Losey, this American... It takes an American, an outsider, if you like, to sort of see the British class system objectively, because he’s not part of it. So he can see it as an outsider, as a witness. Yeah, I love this film. It’s fantastic.”

“Joseph Losey's The Servant. It's probably the most well-known of Joseph Losey's films but it's an amazing and strange and hypnotic similar kind of lure of homoerotic subtext that you might project onto a movie like Persona but with the Joseph Losey signature.”
