WITHIN A TEMPEST. THE ISLAND / INTR-O FURTUNA. INSULA

LaurenÈ›iu Damian,  Romania 2012 66'

Producer: Alma Melnic

Film Presentation:
Documentarul infatiseaza instantanee de creatie semnificative ale faimosului regizor Silviu Purcarete in timpul punerii in scena a piesei Furtuna de William Shakespeare. Munca lui cu actorii, indicatiile regizorale si emulatia intregii trupe de actori a Teatrului National „Marin Sorescu" din Craiova devin, prin acest film, nu numai un document deosebit al istoriei teatrului contemporan, ci si o dovada cinematografica a unui mare talent creator si a unei imaginatii singulare.
