'Time Passes. Now with words' - By: , 29 Mar 2006
This set is intriguing, beguiling, captivating & frustrating. I'm no Beckett purist, so I found some of the liberties taken with the films, such as 'What Where' the most exciting pieces on this set. 'Play', however, is the high point here, with the perfect marriage of Beckett's text & a thoroughly visceral use of camera. There is little negative to say apart from the actual DVD design itself, with the same snatch of music used for every menu, & the same interviews included in both the extras accompanying the plays & the documentary about the project. This makes the high price for this set a little hard to bear. But the films themselves are worth it...
