Featured review
Great Performances is a gem
The concept of this great series works like a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Watching the episodes, enjoying the drama, but also being sucked out of the everyday troubles into the world of asking questions in the spirit of Berthold Brecht's epic drama, is an achievement of the art form television that should not be underestimated. The interdisciplinarity that is put together here is of great value for keeping alive both art forms that meet here: film & TV and classic stage theater. In retrospect, often during the process (in small bites), you can always discuss what is on offer and, by looking at a work of art, you can get into long conversations on a beautiful evening by looking at a work of art. The intellect is addressed, the aesthetics of the human being understood and art is bravely practiced. Just wonderful.
