Socrates

Roberto Rossellini may have made SOCRATES (1971) for television, but he didn’t let the small screen's budget and production limitations hold him back. Drawing on the few presumed facts known about the philosopher, and with fine central performances by Jean Sylvere and Anne Caprile, he ended up with a charming, visually stylized and engaging account of his subject’s last days.
