Pin de Fartie review

Beckett’s masterpiece is given a postmodern cinema slant, with characters in different locations, music and humour in a free and fanciful interpretation

Pin de Fartie review

TL;DR

  • Alejo Moguillansky reinterprets Samuel Beckett's 'Endgame' with a postmodern, cinematic approach.
  • The film features multiple cast members and settings, offering varied scenes from the play.
  • Humor and folk-inflected ditties by musician Maxi Prietto add a unique layer to the interpretation.
  • The adaptation explores father-daughter dynamics, rehearsal processes, and maternal requests related to the play.
  • While deviating from Beckett's strict vision, the adaptation is presented as a free and fanciful essay, potentially falling under fair use.
  • Certain scenes, like a synchronized skipping sequence, are highlighted for their charm and visual appeal.
