The Rehearsal is one of the most exceptional films by Jules Dassin, the director of unforgettable film noirs such as Rififi, Brute Force and The Naked City. This film was clandestinely shot in a studio in New York. Completed in just four weeks with a very low budget, it reenacts the student uprising at the Athens Polytechnic University in 1973. Documenting the events that resulted in the deaths of 40 students on November 17, the film reconstructs the incidents through documents, interviews, songs, and poems. It brings together names like Melina Mercouri, Lillian Hellman, Maximilian Schell, Arthur Miller, and Laurence Olivier, all involved in the same uprising.
