Waiting for Godot (2001)
April 8, 2025 9:30 AM - Subscribe
Two shabby fellows, confused, belligerent and forgetful, argue with each other for 2 solid hours, without making any sense or connection. Two other odd characters appear, a master and his slave, and then a laconic messenger boy. But everybody’s memories are definitely defective, and they must repeat everything again and again - not that it helps. And the allusive Godot of course never appears.
So what the heck does it all mean? I haven’t got a clue, but it’s mesmerizing. 9/10.
Available for free on YouTube @ 360p quality.
This was part of Beckett on Film, an Irish project aimed at making film versions of all nineteen of Beckett's stage plays.
7.6 on IMDb.
I was reminded to watch it by a prompt from HootsMaguire.

Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are trying their hands at it.

When I saw the play the first time looong ago the program had a name next to Godot in the credits, I guess in retrospect as a perk or something for a donor. Well I for one was really quite confused.
