Joseph Losey’s chilling classic gets a 4K restoration to mark the centenary of Dirk Bogarde, who here plays manservant Hugo, hired by aristocratic bachelor Tony (James Fox). Soon Hugo’s girlfriend (Sarah Miles), masquerading as his sister, is employed as a maid, and positions of class and sexuality mutate amid voluminous shadows and skewed camera angles. Scripted by Harold Pinter, this ruthless but far from mirthless gem influenced Performance, Parasite and more, but remains a singular work. Jamie Graham
