Almost the whole movie is shot in a small number of locations clearly indicating its play-like nature. So no special effects. Yet it takes nothing away from the excellent dialogues and acting. The story (as also the movie) may be old, but the contents are surely timeless. Its about death and about possible homosexuality, as also mendacity. I am always amazed as to how seemingly different concepts can be brought together in a good story. We learn how talking can be better than just shutting up, how accepting can be better than rejecting and how revealing can be better than hiding.
