    The Life of Bertolt Brecht, by Joachim Lang

    The third disc of the DVD recently released by the Brazilian Distributor Versátil "Brecht no Cinema" presents the documentary "Die Kunst zu Leben".

    The director and writer Joachim Lang makes a great research and presents the life of Bertolt Brecht though footages, pictures, documents and statements of his relatives, friends and acquaintances showing his work and his loves. This documentary is mandatory for those that want to have visual information of this great intellectual.

    My vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): "A Vida de Bertolt Brecht" ("The Life of Bertolt Brecht")
