Review of The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction (1967) by Asif K — 15 Jun 2011
I can't comprehend some of the reviews I have seen. "Not worth your time' is not and I repeat not an appropriate way to discuss this masterpiece. It is a transformation of stage to screen in incredible fashion, instead of attempting to turn a play into a movie Brook puts you in the position of the ideal spectator of the stage, as if you could walk over and observe the actor's every wrinkle stretch and compress as they release amazing lines that came out of Adrian Mitchell's adaptation.
I will comment no more as "you must choose" what the film is and what it should do for you, however it is my opinion that only a closed and ignorant mind should reject this movie, for even if you do not like it, I believe you should accept it for not trying to be anything it's not.
Enjoy.
