SYNOPSIS

Peter Brook was without doubt one of the great stage and film directors of the post WW2 era. Ever curious and with a restless mind, he brought a new vision to Shakespeare´s plays, directed opera and created a box office hit with IRMA LA DOUCE in London and on Broadway. To celebrate his 100th anniversary in 2025, Reiner Moritz, who was deeply involved in making Brook´s filming of THE MAHABHARATA come true, is making a documentary, tracing Brook´s career with the support of Simon Brook, a filmmaker in his own right, who has made available family archives and precious footage he shot himself while his father was still alive.
