Jesus, I hadn't seen this one before, incredible absorbing meeting , could only be achieved by two Irish men, the sheer understanding of each other, hearts and minds.

Tx: 04 April 1983.

Love ❤ you Stephen !!

Amazing! Thanks so much!

X Dios! Es muy fuerte!

One of the best scenes in the entire movie.

Desde Argentina Congratulations

Even before they mention Beckett l was thinking the set should have had a tree, a rock, and a moon. The lrish do Beckett best because no matter what language he wrote in the mood he wrote in was lrish. Of course Tommy could do it. Stephen seems to have found some sort of peace which he deserves for the joy he brings to others.

Oh yes!!!! Allen Ginsburg, and Susan Sontag, went to visit him in Paris, before his unfortunate death, and they all had a lively conversation. But he never made a gesture, to turn on the light, and they assumed, this was his hint, that he wanted them to leave. But they spent about five hours talking. And it's a riot. Sontag kept saying "Ohhh he was the most sexual man alive.....oh, I was sooooo aroused by him......and Ginsburg saw him as a beatnik, so clearly, they both took away their own impressions, which were colored by their own world view. Maybe that's why he didn't turn on the light. I think Becketts work took on a political dimension with Vaclav Havel. Havel had a massive Color photo of Beckett, from a meeting and kept it in his office at all times. Thanks for posting this, Stephan. I saw him in Paris, in 1970, on a moped, and he had the most enormous ears, and ankle bones. It could not have been anyone else.

Thank you for sharing, Stephen. ❤ I'm French, I've been a bookseller for 30 years and I love Irish Literature. To me, Edna was a Queen, as a writer and as a woman. I will miss her. So very deeply. Love to all her family and friends. God bless you all. All my love to your beautiful Ireland too.

Love Stephen Rae in this!!! Small part, but fantastic fun performance.

I just want to let you know that i watch your videos and I appreciate the work you do 💖

What a beautiful poetic funeral

She chose the most beautiful spot in the world in which to lie in repose for eternity. RIP.

My Mum loved Edna O'Brien, she introduced me to 'The Country Girls', I love it too. Another great Irish artist lost after so recently, Pauline Bewick, Sinead O'Connor and Shane McGowan. Funnily enough I was sitting on this very jetty with friends last August, having a picnic. Little did we know as we had our crisps and sandwiches that this wonderful woman's last journey would happen on that spot, her wicker casket carried along. RIP a life well lived. She followed her own gleam.

so wonderful..she came home..back to nature...

Brilliant actor

Gentle Woman Anseo

I remember these lines from the novel. Even though the reviews of the movie are lukewarm I will try to find it and watch it. Just watching Rea act will be worth the effort.
