Actually not even close to the stage directions. Script actually calls for the close up (or spotlight in the case of the stage) to first be on the speaker, but once repeated the close up/spotlight is not to be on the face of the speaker.
I suppose that when your only stage direction is to blurt the lines as fast as you can, there is no need for an actor to interpret...
Gotta love Beckett.

Yeah exactly, we watched this clip, but especially for students and it has subtitles that said about 'play' and about beckett.
It said 'Samuel Beckett did not want his actors to interpret his script' or something like that.
He wanted them to take his words, and make them their own...At least I think I'm correct lol

I feel this is quite true to the stage directions- I agree that much of Beckett requires his strict intentions- although I think this is very well put to the screen. I imagine part of the challenge of this project was to "interpret" as is needed in taking theatre to film.
