Waiting For Godot: Film

So in class we watched a short clip from a film adaptation of Becket's existentialist play "Waiting For Godot" and we where supposed to do some "Reading" on the filming, scenery and staging, and draw conclusions as on why was the movie recorded in one way or another.

In the short clips there is a huge importance given to the scenery, specially Estrogen's boots at the beginning of the movie, and the tree throughout it. Also something else  that I thought was important was the lack of color throughout the movie, which kind of implies the mood of the movie itself, specially during Lucky's speech everything is very gloomy and dark.

I think the film was a great chance to see the play through someone else's eyes, in this case the eyes of the director and how he interpreted Becket.
