This compelling drama of sexual obsession and power plays is one of Joseph Losey's most provocative films. In one of her finest performances, Jeanne Moreau plays a sexy, materialistic courtesan who disrupts the life of a Welsh novelist played by Stanley Baker, who is engaged to be married. "The figures of alienation wandering through an elegant landscape may be familiar from the Antonioni trilogy of the period, but the pessimism, energetic misanthropy and disenchantment with the world are all Losey's own" (Chris Peachment, Time Out Film Guide). Originally released in the U.S. as Eva. In English. Joseph Losey---France/Italy---1962---120 mins.

Before being blacklisted and leaving to make an even bigger splash abroad, Joseph Losey specialized in film noir with a social conscious. For example, there’s The Prowler and, before that, The Lawless, which Bosley Crowther described as “an exciting picture on a good, solid, social theme--the cruelty of a community when inflamed by prejudice. And although The Lawless is no Fury or Intruder in the Dust, it is a startling account of mob violence in a northern California town…Right off, a clash is developed between the more vicious elements in the town and the working-class Mexican-Americans who want to be left alone. And this brawl in a working-quarter dance-hall sends a Mexican lad rushing forth in fugitive fear and desperation because he has heedlessly hit a cop…Into this turmoil of passion a young liberal editor injects himself and tries to protect the poor youngster, thus drawing fire to himself” (New York Times). Macdonald Carey and Gail Russell star. Keep your eyes peeled for a young Tab Hunter.

Glenda Jackson and Michael Caine star in this witty and stylish drama from screenwriter Tom Stoppard and director Joseph Losey. Caine plays a successful novelist with writer's block, spurred partly by his wife's (Jackson) last-minute solo vacation to Baden Baden. Upon her return, his jealous fantasies are made flesh when a handsome young German (Helmut Berger) shows up on their doorstep. Conversely, she has suspicions of her own involving her husband and the maid. Nevertheless, the foreign friend is invited to stay in their home to help with Caine's latest story...about an anxious wife's infidelities. If that weren't enough meat for a feature film, the third act is peppered with a hint of suspense thriller. "A film of feeling, tact, and intelligence" (Vincent Canby, The New York Times). Based on a novel by Thomas Wiseman.

Elizabeth Taylor is at the top of her highly theatrical form in Joseph Losey's memorably odd psychological drama. Taylor plays a prostitute who develops a strange bond with a mentally challenged young woman (Mia Farrow), becoming both mother and manipulator to her. Their relationship is especially intense as Taylor's character resembles Farrow's dead mother and Farrow is nearly identical to Taylor's deceased daughter. Robert Mitchum and Peggy Ashcroft also star in this interesting feature, full of director Losey's distinctive visual flourishes. This is the full-length, original theatrical release version of the film, which was severely edited with new footage added for Joseph Losey---Great Britain---1968---110 mins.
