[on
Joseph Losey] Joe Losey's very good.
The Servant (1963) is very effective, very well done - for its subject, extraordinarily well-done - and it broke new ground and many new barriers in terms of morals and so on. But it left you small and mean and petty; it didn't release you from anything; it drove home the oppression and weight of its theme rather than bursting you out of it.
