Edwardian rural Norfolk. The wheat fields glisten in the sunshine when scholarship-boy Leo is invited by a wealthy classmate, Marcus, to spend part of the summer at Brandham Hall. There, among the aristocracy, he is put at his ease by his friend's older sister, Marian, with whom he quietly falls in love. As the days go by, Leo feels stifled by the mannered, polite indolence of his hosts and comes to admire Ted Burgess, a virile, athletic tenant-farmer of the estate.
When Ted asks Leo to take a secret letter to Marian, the naïve boy is thrilled by this invitation to join the strange, exciting world of adult love...
The Go-Between mirrors several of the themes of Losey and Pinter's previous projects, The Servant (1963) and Accident (1967). The classic novel by L.P. Hartley is well suited to Losey's cold, detached style and Pinter's subtle, allusive language.
Told from Leo's point of view, the film takes us on a journey through his loss of childhood innocence and his harsh initiation into the compromises and hypocrisies of adulthood. It's key theme - how the past shapes the present and yet constantly eludes us - is reflected in the oft-quoted line which opens both novel and film, "The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there."
Winner, Palme d'Or, Cannes Film Festival, 1971.
