The Taviani brothers spent six months following the rehearsals for the stage production of Julius Caesar, as performed by the inmates of the Roman maximum security prison Rebibbia. Shakespeare’s tragedy about friendship and betrayal, power, dishonesty and violence has rarely sounded so persuasive, intense and authentic. Golden Bear at this year’s Berlin Film Festival. Italian spoken.
