About this product

Product Information

After appearing as the ghost of Hamlet's father in Michael Almereyda's 2000 film version of the Bard's classic story, which also starred Ethan Hawke, Julia Stiles, and Kyle MacLachlan, Sam Shepard invited the director to make a behind-the-scenes documentary on the rehearsals for Shepard's play THE LATE HENRY MOSS at the Magic Theatre in San Francisco. The stage work, based on Shepard's own father, who was a Fulbright scholar whose life and career fell apart in a haze of alcohol, featured a remarkable cast, including Nick Nolte, Sean Penn, Woody Harrelson, and Cheech Marin, with music by T-Bone Burnett. Almereyda followed the action onstage, in the dressing rooms, in bars, and at Shepard's ranch, where the usually private playwright spoke openly about his relationship with his father.Although Nolte and Penn--and even Shepard himself--are well known for not being forthcoming with their personal lives, they open up in remarkable ways for Almereyda, sharing fascinating stories about their experiences and their work. THIS SO-CALLED DISASTER is a thrilling look at the creation of art from a myriad of compelling angles.

Unfortunately, this product didn't function as advertised. It appeared to be a new DVD and arrived sealed. However the first movie would not play. It was like it had never been burned to the DVD. All others worked fine. I advise the seller and he provided a return label and refunded the purchase price. Since this was a newly sealed DVD, I don't hold the seller responsible, as it must have arrived from the manufacturer this way. The seller was happy to make things right, so I'd buy again.

This is an outstanding seller to deal with. Fair prices that are more than reasonable in this economy. The product is even better condition than described, a true value for my money. Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition. The seller is friendly and communicates timely with his customers. All in all I highly recommend this seller and would do business again anytime. Thank you and be safe. Good luck to the future.

  • This So-Called Disaster

    This is an utterly fascinating film about how a dramatic play evolves through weeks of rehearsal. It's the work of Sam Shepard, who both writes and directs a sterling cast of actors, including Sean Penn and Nick Nolte playing brothers who fight after the death of their estranged, alcoholic father. During the film you realize that the story of the play is rooted in Sam's unresolved conflicts with his real life father, who died in self-imposed isolation in 1983. The title of the play is "The Late Great Henry Moss," but this film makes you aware of the process of bringing this play to fruition at the Magic Theatre in San Francisco in November 2000. Sam Shepard invited Michael Almereyda to record the experience of developing the play with his cast. Anyone interested in writing, directing, ...
