Roberto Rossellini
Plot
A television film about the last days of Socrates.
Sinekatalog’s take
Roberto Rossellini's television film recounts the last days of Socrates, from the trial to the hemlock, in plain, didactic scenes. Austere and talky, with Jean Sylvère, it is a lucid and reverent piece of educational cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
