Butley
After winning acclaim on the London stage, director Harold Pinter and star Alan Bates bring Simon Gray's acerbic academia character study to the screen. It's a day in the life of university don Ben Butley. Unfortunatley for him, it's a day on which his life falls apart. Ben is a man full of energy he doesn't know what to do with, he's lost a grip on what gives his life purpose, he's not sure teaching is of any use or if he's meant to be a teacher anymore...and he's feasting off the dregs of his relationships.
