A young man in Rome talks about Caesar.
Sinekatalog’s take
Straub and Huillet's film follows a young man driving through Rome, who talks to people about Julius Caesar, from Brecht's unfinished novel. Austere, cool and provoking, it is a rigorous reflection on power, history and class.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
