Abstract

Colm eventually gives Padraic a reason for his sudden coldness: a fiddler, songwriter, and self-described lover of art, Colm has concluded that he can't stand to listen to any more of Padraic's boring talk. "I don't like you no more", he says, simply, and Padraic is knocked back. PADRAIC WON'T GIVE UP on his friend, and Colm becomes increasingly exasperated, threatening retaliation of the oddest sort if Padraic insists on pestering him. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

It's hard to say if ''Sunday Bloody Sunday'' (1971) is a movie about the idea of wanting too much or of not wanting enough. It is, maybe, a movie about the in-between state, the place where loneliness and desire intertwine fingers without daring to commit to anything more fulfilling, or more dangerous. Glenda Jackson, a thirtyish divorcee, and Peter Finch, a fortyish physician, share the same telephone answering service and, more significant, the same lover (Murray Head, right with Ms. Jackson). He hops from one bed to another with a half-smile and a sympathetic shrug, and while his two lovers don't know each other, each is aware of the other's existence. Neither wants to lose the affection of this raffish swain, an artist who makes clever but meaningless constructions from glass pipes, colored liquids and various mechanical bits and bobs. But jealousy is never a reasonable emotion, and it circles both characters like a wraith. Ms. Jackson and Finch, as lovers who are not in love with each other, give performances of tensile delicacy. The picture -- directed by John Schlesinger and written by the onetime New Yorker film critic Penelope Gilliatt -- is lacerating, unsettling in the way it picks at subterranean emotional turmoil, until in its final moments it becomes something close to wonderful. At one point Ms. Jackson's mother (Peggy Ashcroft) tells her daughter, and not unkindly: ''You keep throwing your hand in because you haven't got the whole thing. There is no whole thing.'' By the end of ''Sunday Bloody Sunday'' Ms. Jackson and Finch's characters have finally made peace with the imperfection of whatever it is we call love. Between them they've had the whole thing, but only in bits and pieces, and never all at once. (Criterion, Oct. 23, Blu-ray, $39.95) STEPHANIE ZACHAREK [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
