Reviews in German: "Frears verschweigt nichts. Ein grosses Denkmal einer faszinierenden ì
Begegnung" (Kurier, Wien)
"Seit seinem Sensationserfolgt mit "mein wunderbarer Waschsalon" zählt ì
Stephen Frears zu den Hauptvertretern des neuen englischen Films. In "Prick ì
up your ears" erzählt er die Geschichte des englischen Dramatikers Joe Orton ì
("Seid nett zu Mr. Sloane"), der 1967 nach 16 jähriger Partnerschaft von ì
seinem Freund aus Eifersucht getötet wurde. Diese minutiöse Charakterstudie ì
über nicht verkrafteten Erfolg und sozialen Aufstieg wurde als bester ì
künstlerischer Beitrag in Cannes 1987 ausgezeichnet." (ORF Presseinfo)
