The career of Wisconsin-born Joseph Losey spanned over four decades
and several countries. A self-proclaimed Marxist and veteran of the
1930s Soviet agit-prop theater, he collaborated with Bertholt
Brecht before directing noir B-pictures in Hollywood. A victim of
McCarthyism, he later crossed the Atlantic to direct a series of
seminal British films such as "Time Without Pity," "Eve," "The
Servant," and "The Go-Between," which mark him as one of the
cinema's greatest baroque stylists. His British films reflect on
exile and the outsider's view of a class-bound society in crisis
through a style rooted in the European art house tradition of
Resnais and Godard. Gardner employs recent methodologies from
cultural studies and poststructural theory, exploring and
clarifying the films' uneasy tension between class and gender, and
their explorations of fractured temporality.
