CORNEILLE-BRECHT

Corneille-Brecht ou Rome l'unique objet de mon ressentiment

Directed by Cornelia Geiser, Jean-Marie Straub
France, 2009
Drama, Short

Synopsis

These are two short extracts from Horace and Othon by Corneille, and a long one from Das Verhör des Lukullus (Lucullus Hearing) by Berthold Brecht, a radiophonic play of 1939. The film is a settling of scores with Rome and a dazzling work-proposition on the texts.
