Film Classics in 35mm! Peter Brook, 1925-2022
aka THE PERSECUTION AND ASSASSINATION OF JEAN-PAUL MARAT AS PERFORMED BY THE INMATES OF THE ASYLUM OF CHARENTON UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE MARQUIS DE SADE
United Kingdom
| 1967 | Peter Brook
Inmates of a French insane asylum in 1808 re-enact the murder of French Revolution firebrand Jean-Paul Marat in a play written and staged by fellow inmate, the Marquis de Sade. Meanwhile, the institution’s director and an audience of bourgeois playgoers observe this “therapeutic” theatrical from a safe distance—until all hell breaks loose. Peter Brook’s galvanizing film version of his Royal Shakespeare Company production—one of the most celebrated theatrical events of the 1960s—features Patrick Magee and Glenda Jackson (in her screen debut). “Four stars (highest rating)…Chilling…Brilliantly directed.” –Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide. 35mm. 115 min.
