- It would be hard to imagine a genre more antithetical to the modernist sensibility of Samuel Beckett than the biopic. The Irish writer who relocated to Paris, found inspiration in the French language and became one of the most innovative literary artists of the second half of the 20th century, was allergic to the uplifting pieties and sentimental profundities that are the mainstay of screen biographies. Publicity and self-promotion were anathema to this most private of authors, who died in 1989.

Dance First, review: this bizarre Samuel Beckett biopic is a quiet disaster
“A play in which nothing happens, twice” was how the Irish critic Vivian Mercier memorably described Waiting For Godot shortly after its US premiere – and to be clear, Mercier meant it as a compliment.
