Acting

An immersive documentary in the world of theatre company Cheek by Jowl from acclaimed director Sophie Fiennes (Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami, A Pervert’s Guide to Cinema), looking in depth at the acting process, from voice exercises to text analysis and the immersion in performance. In an old castle, theatre director Declan Donnellan leads a dozen young actors as they work on Shakespeare’s Macbeth. His insights unlock their imagination and help them find their own way through this challenging text. Full of wit, often funny, this film is as inspiring as it is a celebration of artistic collaboration and a reminder of the enduring strength of classic plays.
