Peter Brook’s filmed adaptation of Peter Weiss’s radical stage play presents the assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as performed by inmates of an asylum under the direction of the Marquis de Sade. Visually striking and intellectually confrontational, Marat / Sade blends history, theater, and avant-garde cinema into a challenging and unforgettable work of political and philosophical intensity.
An essential title for fans of experimental film, theatrical adaptations, and countercultural cinema.
