The Play

Moi, ça m’a plu – énormément. Le milieu du théâtre, la complexité des relations et une série de scènes réalistes, surtout les plus exacerbées. J'adore le trio central composé de Mádl, Maximová et Šoposká et ils ont tous joué impeccablement. Une telle palpitante coproduction de quatre pays, ça ne s’invente pas ! (29/12/2020)

This artsy drama The Play by Chilean director Alejandro Fernández Almendras tells a classic story of a love triangle, made rather unusual by the fact that it takes place in a theatrical setting. Although in places the continuity of the plot is a bit scratchy, and sometimes the pace too, there are no big problems here. The minor flaws are balanced by the overall very solid performances, with Elizaveta Maximova clearly playing the lead. However, I was pleasantly surprised by Jiří Mádl, whom I found quite convincing in his fairly serious role of the overworked father. (60%) (08/04/2023)
