Socrates
Socrates, the Athenian thinker whose marketplace dialogues challenge the city's foundations, finds himself on trial. Accused of corrupting the youth and impiety, the film traces the philosopher's final days—from the fierce debates in court to the prison cell where he holds his last conversations with disciples. It is a slow, concentrated march toward the hemlock sentence, a stark test of his ideas and his commitment to them, set against the austere backdrop of a crumbling democracy.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Roberto Rossellini, in his television period, crafts an austere and deeply intellectual portrait where the camera is a detached observer and Plato's texts are the true protagonists. This is a cinematic lecture, demanding full immersion, where drama springs not from action but from the collision of ideas.
What lingers after the final frame is the weight of silence and the stark, uncomfortable nobility of choosing principle over life. It is a challenging, rewarding meditation on integrity. — MovieFinder Editorial

Dry light, stone walls, faces frozen in the static tension of debate.
