The Servant review
Joseph Losey's subversive exploration of the class war makes for a masterful Blu-ray
Joseph Losey's deliciously subversive masterpiece about class relations in '60s Britain has lost none of its impact over the last 40 years – despite the seismic sociological changes the country has undergone since. This wonderful Blu-ray release will hopefully bring the film wider recognition, with the immaculate AVC 1.66:1 1080p visuals (easily one of the best HD encodes in the StudioCanal Collection range) providing a sensational showcase for Losey's inventive direction. The disc also boasts fascinating extras – primarily interviews, both new and archival – including James Fox talking to Richard Ayoade. Unmissable.
