The True Story of Richard III. The Film

The film is born on the threshold where the theatre becomes cinema. Without documenting the process, or explaining it, the film invents its own language. Calixto Bieito’s radical approach finds a new thrust in the camera of Marcelo Piñeyro. The camera doesn’t look in from the outside: it enters, listens, accentuates and reveals details invisible from the stalls. A hybrid experience, suspended between reality and fiction, where the two languages merge to tell a reinvented truth.
