Description
There is no writer who excels at the art of adaptation for the screen so much as Harold Pinter. His consummate craftmanship and unerring ear for dialogue, coupled with his sensitivity and understanding of the work of other writers, makes the three volumes of his collected screenplays a masterclass in screenwriting.
This second volume includes The Go-Between, another of his unforgettable collaborations with Joseph Losey, his adaptation of Russell Hoban's novel Turtle Diary, his remarkable Proust Screenplay, as well as Victory and Reunion. The volume contains a new introduction by the author.
Collected Screenplays 2 includes Harold Pinter's The Go-Between, another of his unforgettable collaborations with Joseph Losey, his adaptation of Russell Hoban's novel Turtle Diary, his remarkable Proust Screenplay, as well as Victory and Reunion.
