Russell made the inspired choice to film "Diary" as a silent movie with narration,.giving free rein to his strong visual sense--indulging in some flamboyant slapstick (almost reminiscent of a music hall skit) --while honoring the strictures of the text with the narration. The physicality of the cast is uniformly superb. We even get the marvelous Vivian Pickles (credited as Vivienne Pickles), though one wishes she had more to do. The comical musical score, played on harmonium, is by Ivor Cutler.
