Learning on ScreenKing is Alive, The (2000)
- Synopsis
- Feature film emerging from the Dogme 95 manifesto and the first to be filmed outside Scandinavia in the English language. 10 tourists, travelling by bus in the Namibian desert, are stranded when the bus runs out of petrol. Jack, an Australian experienced in desert survival, sets off to find help. When he fails to return the group becomes anxious and ex-actor Harry, who has occupied himself writing down all he can remember from King Lear, suggests that they stage the play. In their despair the characters re-articulate Shakespeare’s vision of nothingness.
