Synopsis

After the American playwright and actor Sam Shepard had played the role of the ghost in Michael Almereyda's Hamlet, Shepard invited the filmmaker to document rehearsals for his The Late Henry Moss, that he staged with Nick Nolte and Sean Penn in leading roles.

Almereyda and his crew filmed the last three weeks before the première. The film combines interviews with Shepard, his actors and staff with images of the rehearsals. The result is both a portrait and a unique glimpse of top actors seeking their way through the material.

The film also offers a survey of the career of Shepard, including a report of his stormy relationship with his father, who died in 1984.

The use of music in the documentary segments of the film adds another layer of storytelling, providing insight into Sam Shepard's creative process and personal struggles. The soundtrack not only complements the interviews and rehearsal footage but also elevates the overall narrative, making it a truly memorable and impactful viewing experience.

Melissa Mitchell
3/10

The repetitive use of certain musical motifs throughout the film became tedious and monotonous, making it difficult to stay engaged with the story and characters as the same themes were recycled without much variation.

Linda Hall
6/10

On the other hand, some tracks in the soundtrack felt repetitive and failed to create a distinct identity for the film. While the overall composition was effective in setting the tone, there were moments where the music felt like background noise rather than a crucial element of the narrative.
