Bored of volcanos, timelines and robo-blah? Craving a bit of truth or want to learn more about the world through film? This week Drama Chula presents inspiring documentaries and drama films.
Screening on Tuesday at 4pm is “Caesar Must Die” a compelling drama-within-a-drama. Set in one of Italy’s maximum security prisons, the prisoners are preparing to play one of Shakespeare’s classic Julius Caesar. The film takes us through the intense auditions and the rehearsals to see the motivation these criminals are able to find to act their parts. We are able to witness the conflicts that goes through themselves and among each other.
Screening on Wednesday at 4pm is “The Act of Killing,” a thrilling documentary that has won best documentary at the Baftas and is now a nominee for the Oscars. The filmmakers have asked former Indonesian squad leaders to reenact their mass killings in whichever way they want, with a mixture of mainstream Hollywood scenes to horrific blood baths.
On Thursday a film from Mexico “After Lucia” will be shown. Lastly, on Friday “Play” from Sweden will end the week.
The films will show on the 9th floor at Drama Chula in Mahachakri Sirindhorn Building. Entry is free.
