*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Possible spoilers.... as is the case with ANY Beckett review! Beckett's play "Act Without Words II", while of course being related to "Act Without Words I" in some respects, is an entirely different play, in that there are now TWO mimes. In this second installment, the surroundings have been all but eliminated, and all attention is paid solely to the mime. The two mimes lead extraordinarily different existances.... one extremely somber, that mood aided with the slow and deadpan piano piece, the other extremely upbeat, again, with a fast and melodic piano medley. The former seems sluggish, as if it is a pain to simply exist, where the latter is ridiculously upbeat and organized, so much so that he must check his clock every few seconds... the ultimate point of this play, as it has been interpreted by ME, is that in the end, we all end up the same, regardless of whether or not we were sad, boring, time-oblivious carrot munchers, or immensely anxious, exciting, time-conscious spastics. Having not seen the play live, I can only comment on the film. The 'prod' was an interesting touch, acting almost as an on-screen director. Anyhow, it was a very short film, I believe under 20 minutes, and very interesting, and so it gets 8/10.
