This week, Brendan and Jason watch a tale about a butler who is... much different from Anthony Hopkins in The Remains of the Day. The year is 1963 and Dirk Bogarde is a sinister man with a plan up his sleeve in The Servant. The guys discuss some of the most dense and symbolic cinematography, they debate the way in which the film views the class system, they talk about the clever ways in which the films skirts around the censors and much more. Plus: is this the first appearance of a "Vaguebooker"? Next week: A 3-part series begins with the return of "Brit Picks." The first pick (from Brendan) will be Paddington 2. Full List: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFI_Top_100_British_films Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/forscreenandcountry Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bfi_pod Our logo was designed by the wonderful Mariah Lirette (https://www.instagram.com/mariahhx) The Servant stars James Fox, Dirk Bogarde, Sarah Miles, Wendy Craig, Catherine Lacey and Richard Vernon; directed by Joseph Losey.
