Caesar Must Die

Best Film winner at Berlin Film Festival 2012, Caesar Must Die traces the rehearsal and staging of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar by inmates incarcerated in Rome's Rebibbia Prison.

"One of the inmates comments: 'Ever since I discovered art this cell has truly become a prison'. Filmmakers Paolo and Vittorio Taviani spent six months following rehearsals for this stage production; their film demonstrates how the universality of Shakespeare’s language helps the actors to understand their roles and immerse themselves in the bard's interplay of friendship and betrayal, power, dishonesty and violence."
