Caesar Must Die centres on a production of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar performed by inmates from the high-security wing at Rome’s Rebibbia prison, all hard men serving long sentences for murder, drug dealing and offences connected with the Mafia and Camorra. Such plays are regularly produced by outside professionals, most famously the Genoese actor and director Fabio Cavalli. Collaborating with Cavalli, the Tavianis (Padre Padrone) make a welcome return to form in their first movie for more than six years.

Directors: Paolo Taviani, Vittorio Taviani
Padre padrone (1977) / The Night of San Lorenzo (1982)
