To commemorate the 100th anniversary of British acting legend Dirk Bogarde, STUDIOCANAL is thrilled to announce a brand new 4K restoration of Joseph Losey’s ground-breaking classic THE SERVANT.
Sexual tensions and class conflicts run high in must-see classic with BAFTA-winning performances from Dirk Bogarde and James Fox.
Marking the first of three collaborations between director Joseph Losey and celebrated playwright Harold Pinter, THE SERVANT follows sly and seductive manservant Barrett (Bogarde) as he worms his way in to the affections of foppish aristocrat Tony (Fox). Barrett’s awe-inspiring efficiency cleverly masks his true intentions, ultimately giving way to a suspicious and insidious control where the roles of master and servant are reversed.
Adapted from Robin Maugham’s short story and with stunning black & white photography from cinematographer Douglas Slocombe, THE SERVANT is a thrilling and ingenious British classic that’s not to be missed.
In UK cinemas from September 10th and on 4K UHD, DVD, Blu-Ray and Digital from September 20th.
