Langrishe, Go Down - 1978 - 6/10

Three middle aged sisters live on the family estate in declining circumstances.
One tends the garden, the animals, the kitchen.
Another, more literary, keeps a journal, keeps records, writes countless letters, unsent.
The third, Imogen (Judi Dench), reads, attends cinema, starts an affair.

With Otto Beck (Jeremy Irons), a perpetual student who has rented the back cottage.
He is brainy, dismissive and a mooch.
Imogen seems desperate, perhaps for a relationship, perhaps for an escape.
Based on a Pinter work, this would benefit from an audio restoration.
Otherwise, quite good if dour and a bit confusing.
