Stalker.
I didn’t know this existed. Sir John Gielgud playing the role of the “Grand Inquisitor”. I can’t help but note, nevertheless, that even with the considerable skills of one of the greatest actors, this production merely underlines what you felt when you read the book, that Dostoevsky wasn’t really interested in creating real dialogue between characters, that he doesn’t mind cramming essays into their mouths, but anyway, you already know that, so, enjoy…

I’m going to serve it up in your food
Pour it on your clothes
Stash it in your closet
And hide it in your cemetry
A storm to end all wars
A curse upon your house
“Vial of hope and vial of pain
In the light they both looked the same
Pour them out onto the world
On every boy and every girl”
![“I believe the Howl, Tropic of Cancer, and Naked Lunch decisions changed the literary landscape of America for good. And the I Am Curious-Yellow decision in 1969, reached by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York, did the same thing for motion pictures… After that, American writers and publishers and film-makers felt free to create, print, and exhibit almost anything. I think Allen [Ginsburg] would agree that, after those decisions, there was little in ‘obscenity’ law for poets and novelists and screenwriters to worry about anymore.”
