Watch Caesar Must Die Movie Online No Survey Winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlinale, Paolo and Vittorio Taviani's Caesar Must Die deftly melds narrative and documentary in a transcendently powerful drama-within-a-drama. The film was made in Rome's Rebibbia Prison, where the inmates are preparing to stage Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. After a competitive casting process, the roles are eventually allocated, and the prisoners begin exploring the text, finding in its tale of fraternity, power and betrayal parallels to their own lives and stories. Hardened criminals, many with links to organised crime, these actors find great motivation in performing the play. As we witness the rehearsals, beautifully photographed in various nooks and crannies within the prison, we see the inmates also work through their own conflicts, both internal and between each other. -- (C) Adopt Release Date Caesar Must Die Feb 6, 2013 Limited | |

Review For Caesar Must Die |
Prison theatricals are nothing new in the movies, but Caesar Must Die, a quasi-documentary featuring hardened convicts acting out Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, is in a class by itself. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
Ranks among the most involving adaptations of Shakespeare ever put on screen ... Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times
What works best is what's readily accessible, the startling power of performers who understand the drama all too well. Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal
The film gets on screen not only the play's bloody, double-dealing, hungry essence, but the redemptive potential of art. Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
The Tavianis blur the boundaries between fact and fiction, but they couldn't do it without the full complicity of their actors, or the audience. Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News
You can only guess what the lines mean to the inmates, who register as atmospheric blanks at best and brutal exotics at worst, even if the tale that they enact with such earnest vigor works because the original tragedy does. Manohla Dargis-New York Times
It's an arresting, playful and moving film ... Dave Calhoun-Time Out
[It] has plenty of wit and punch, although compared to the best of the medium - Man On Wire, for instance - it sometimes comes off as guileless and clunky. Patrick Peters-Empire Magazine
[An] inventive, urgent and humane prison drama, in which real-life Mafia and Camorra prisoners act in a version of Julius Caesar. Tom Dawson-Total Film
If you're looking for an adventurous thought-provoking film, "Caesar Must Die" more than fits the bill. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com
In just 76 minutes, the Taviani brothers treat us to a deeply affecting adaptation of this ancient play, embedded with even deeper meaning on account of its unconventional stars. Simon Miraudo-Quickflix
Here's an extraordinary melding of the actualities of modern man with his ancient past. Sadly, humankind hasn't made much progress when it comes to controlling its ambitious and testosterone-tinged impulses. Happily, human frailties make great art. Brandon Judell-CultureCatch
Paolo and Vittorio Taviani brilliantly merge documentary and fiction in this film about a prison production of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Maria Garcia-Film Journal International
For a movie with such a brisk pace -- it clocks in at just 76 minutes -- "Caesar Must Die" has surprising depth ... Grant Butler-Oregonian
In Caesar Must Die, the characters are both actor and audience, looking at themselves through the lens of a centuries-old fictionalization of history. Noel Murray-AV Club
Hardly a dish fit for the gods. Keith Uhlich-Time Out New York
As much in the corridors, cells and courtyards as on the virtually prop-less stage, these nearly entirely non-professionals give moving performances. Donald J. Levit-ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Now into their eighties, the Taviani brothers show with this remarkable, fresh and moving drama-documentary they have lost none of that mix of observational rigour and sympathy for the underdog that marked early films like Padre Padrone. Lee Marshall-Screen International
