Foreign trailer for the documentary Moscow, which screened at the 2009 AFI Fest.
Eduardo Coutinho, Brazil’s premier documentary filmmaker, reaches new heights with this surprising, even mysterious account of the Galpão Theater Company in Belo Horizonte. Coutinho and his crew are invited to record the process as the troupe creates a new, emotionally charged production of Chekhov’s The Three Sisters. Stage director Enrique Diaz and his company treat Chekhov as if he were a living, contemporary playwright, and Coutinho participates in his own way in his discovery of the play’s meaning.
