Re: More Work for Jim Director's Series Vol. 3 - Peter Brook


In order of merit:


1.The Persecution And Assassination Of Jean-Paul Marat As Performed By The Inmates Of The Asylum At Charenton Under The Direction Of The Marquis De Sade (1967) ***
2.Moderato Cantabile aka Seven Days... Seven Nights (1960) ***
3.King Lear (1971) ***
4.Lord of the Flies (1963) ***


Actually, I was rather underwhelmed by MARAT/SADE but I'd love to watch THE BEGGAR'S OPERA (1952) which does occasionally play on Italian TV but somehow it never seemed right to me to watch it dubbed...
