I'd love to attend a stage version of "3 penny".
The version I watched in college was much shorter than the more complete, good-looking version available today. Cast and crew are top notch;
the camera movement in this film stands out from contemporaneous productions and the mise-en-scene up to German Expressionism's highest standards. Your review is great and the NYer article informative.
I'm reading Benedetto's Zama and learning a lot about adaptation from Lucrecia Martel.
I'm teaching a course titled "Screenwriting for Cinema & TV" in the Fall. Excited.
