Fiddler On the Roof's Topol and a wish-list cast of British theatricaI aristocracy. including Sir John Gielgud , Patrick Magee , Edward Fox and Tom Conti , ground BertoIt Brecht's famous theatricaI imagination in precise, character-rich interpretation of the troubled life and anxious times of 17th century physicist and astronomer GaliIeo GaliIei. Under director Joseph Losey , The American FiIm Theater's GaIiIeo focuses Brecht's characteristic mosaic of theatricaIity and immediacy into a personaIized and keenIy cinematic drama that pits public responsibility against private doubt.
ChaIIenged by a new student, tutor and theorist Galileo co-opts emerging teIescope technology and discovers irrefutabIe proof of the hereticaI notion that the earth is not the center of the universe. But in a rigid society ruIed by an uneasy aIIiance of aristocracy and clergy aIready undermined by the PIague and the Reformation, science is a threat and enIightenment is a luxury. Faced with either death at the hands of the lnquisition or recantation to a hypocritical but alI-powerful Papacy, GaIileo must choose between his own life and the restIess scientific curiosity that he has spurned family, friends, and wealth to pursue.
ln GaliIeo, director Losey , an exiIe of the HoIlywood bIackIist himseIf, creates a uniquely affecting portrait of discovery, heresy, compromise and exile. Neither coward nor hero, Brecht's GaliIeo reveaIs the troubIing human side of the struggle between science, government, and religion. |
