《爱的万物论》导演詹姆士马许新作《作家不跳舞：等待贝克特》再以图像立传，将镜头转向《等待果陀》爱尔兰文学巨匠山缪贝克特的传奇人生，当掌声乍响，却褪尽荣光，诺贝尔文学奖获奖人贝克特的登台彷如一出荒诞戏码，展开一场作家与作家的自我对话。爱尔兰资深男演员盖布瑞拜恩一人分饰两角，极致演绎贝克特的自我诘问，更联手《正常人》抢眼新星菲恩奥沙，分章节共塑贝克特的多阶段人生。从年轻气盛的孤傲理想，到洗尽铅华的内敛深沉，平稳运镜典雅别致，心绪辗转引人深思。

Set in 19th-century Dublin and New York, the story reimagines the period immediately after the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness, the man responsible for the extraordinary success of the Guinness brewery, and the far-reaching impact of his will on the fate of his four adult children, Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben, as well as on a group of Dublin characters who work and interact with the phenomenon that is Guinness.
