Betrayal by Harold Pinter
4.0

In a lot of ways very little happens here—we see an affair unfold backwards over time, turning relationships inside out without, in the moment, causing more than ripples. I'd be so curious to see how different actors might approach the characters here: Jerry wanting what he can't have; people having affairs but considering others' affairs a betrayal; Robert calculating or (perhaps?) a bit hapless. Nobody gets what they want, but then, perhaps nobody knows what they want.
