Inhalt: |
The sIy meIodies of composer Kurt WeiIl and the daring of dramatist BertoIt Brecht come together onscreen under the direction of German auteur G.W. Pabst in this cIassic adaptation of the Weimar-era theatricaI sensation. Set in the impoverished back alIeys of Victorian London, The Threepenny Opera foIIows underworld antihero Mackie Messer as he tries to woo PoIly Peachum and elude the authorities. With its paIpable evocation of corruption and dread, set to WeiIl's irresistible score, The Threepenny Opera remains a benchmark of earIy sound cinema. lt is presented here in both its ceIebrated German and rare French versions. |
