Editorial
A sharp, psychosexual and psycho-social masterpiece from the brilliant and controversial post-war American director Joseph Losey, The Servant was his first of many collaborations with playwright Harold Pinter. It stars Losey’s frequent muse Dirk Bogarde as a dissolute disrupter of British decorum.
