good theatre but a bad film

How not to make a tour de force theatre production with Britains finest talent into a fussy, poorly directed(visually) and very annoyingly edited work. ie single shot 2 shot 6 shot back to single shot then 2 shot etc etc etc.
The excellent cast must have worked their butts off for a director that had no visual concept for ensemble performance.
A lot of hard work for everyone.
'I Love Lucy' was done with 3 Film cameras, 10 mins and then comercials, easy to cut afterwards and remember students, whats the cheapest thing on a film set....?
The film stock.
With PD150's having hi def, even the runners could have shot an ensemble piece like this better instead of all those singles, 2 shots etc etc.
Tell them at the NFI.
Now I know why i dont work in film no more.
Just because its the venerable (and oh so miserable) Harold Pinter, it doesnt mean that it shouldnt have a fresh look.
What an utter disservice to the great cast. Terry and June looked better and seriously, Friends is better visually directed than this tosh.
A real shame.
1 out of ten.
