The Birthday Party (1968)

Based on Harold Pinter's enigmatic play about a boarder in a British seaside dwelling who is visited by two strangers. They torment him verbally, ask him idiotic unanswerable questions, force him to sit down and stand up, and give him a "party". Then, eventually, they take him away, a tongue-tied idiot. The trivial becomes the terrible, and with it a certain wonder, a certain pity.

An early Friedkin movie, all set in a quaint british B & B and based on a play by Harold Pinter. Amazing performances all round as long-staying guest Robert Shaw gets emotionally terrorized by two gentlemen in the front room.

This is an excellent screen version of the fabulously menacing play by Harold Pinter.

This is a glacially paced, stagy, and confusing mess of a film.

Roger Ebert 22 Oct 2004

It probably wasn't possible to make a satisfactory film of The Birthday Party. On the other hand, it's impossible to imagine a better film of Pinter's play than this sensitive, disturbing version directed by William Friedkin.

Harold Pinter's brilliant early film, The Birthday Party, is one of his best efforts, and perhaps, with The Homecoming, the pinnacle of the Theater of the Absurd. Performances across the board are outstanding, with Robert Shaw outdoing himself as Stanley Weber. Moultrie Keisall as Petey is excellent but understated, and his final words really put the cherry on the birthday cake. (sorry for the pun). Top marks, 5 stars, classic.
