Caesar Must Die

Winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. Each year the inmates of Rome’s high security Rebibbia prison, incarcerated mostly for Mafia-related crimes, put on a play. The Taviani brothers follow the rehearsals and performance of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, a play where the conspiracies and betrayals echo the past and present lives of the prisoners. The actors become prisoners once again as they are accompanied back to their cells. A highly enjoyable film by the legendary directors of Padre Padrone.
