Series Statement:
The cinema of Peter Watkins : [DVD-Video]
Content:
Peter Watkins' companion-piece to his highly acclaimed EDVARD MUNCH, THE FREETHINKER examines the life, art and times of the noted Swedish dramatist August Strindberg, author of Miss Julie, Inferno and The Dance Of Death. Strindberg is depicted as a rebel, an idealistic and controversial iconoclast who openly criticized the hypocrisy of 19th century society. This unique, complex and truly collaborative project, which focusses much on Strindberg's often turbulent relationship with his first wife, Siri von Essen, was based on original and detailed research carried out by Peter Watkins and produced as part of a full-length video production course at the Nordens Folkhögskola Biskops-Arnö, taking two years to complete. The students raised funds, sewed costumes, learned to operate equipment and peformed all the functions involved in a major theatrical video production. (Project X)
