a horse's head

Written on 27. February 2007 by BerlinChair.

ganz nette low-fi Verfilmung des gleich betitelten, packenden Dramas von Peter Shaffer, mit Richard Burton in der Hauptrolle des Psychiaters. als trivialinfo nebenbei: dies ist das Stück, mit dem der Harry Potter Darsteller Daniel Radcliffe momentan für Schlagzeilen sorgt.
