Yeah yeah. It's part of the collection "Beckett On Film": A collection of 19 Samuel Beckett plays written for the stage, & each adapted by a different director. It sports some big names, but none seem to register except Julian Moore from Not I. THe collection is pricey. or pricy. or expessive. $150. but if you are a Beckett fan, I strongly recommend seeing these film interpretations. This colllection is one of my favorite film experiences. BUT YOU MAY HAVE TO BUY IT! http://www.beckettonfilm.com/

$150 for a DVD set? That's pretty steep! That's about £90 UK. There's a copy on Ebay for £44.99 in the UK, with 6 days left.

Her Randomness, thanks for the link! This film is a groundbreaking and breathtaking work of art. Now I will have to buy the set.

I wrote my thesis on Samuel Beckett last semester and I ended up buying the collection. It was well worth the money. Personally, I do believe older versions of Krapp's Last Tape and Waiting for Godot are a little better, but these productions still stand up. This collection is the only place I know of to purchase many of the shorter plays of Beckett.

It may show back up on Sundance Channel or another pay channel.

I'm guessing they took it down...
