The Karamazovs

A fascinating look at the classic Russian story told by a troop of actors rehearsing the play in an old Polish steelworks. But this is much more than just a presentation of a play. The back stories of the actors are part of it, as are the stories of the audience, factory workers looking on during the performance.

It's fantastically surreal to see the actors moving about the space, using found items as improvised set pieces, while the audience literally stands in among the actors, observing. The performances are fantastic, the music is beautiful and very effective, and overall it's just a really unique and interesting piece of film.
