Richard Harris’ performance in This Sporting Life is as good as any as i have ever seen. There is more to this picture than the gritty realism associated with the Free Cinema or British New Wave directors. The troubled soul of a man trying to build something for himself is laid bare in front of us, his rage, loneliness and awkwardness a pitiful but fascinating spectacle to behold. Harris brings an intensity to the role which is deeply moving. Beautiful and poetic cinematography.
