Jail Caesar (2012)
8/10
Excellent

Very touching and thought provoking film. It tugs at the heart, hints beyond the edge of awareness, and brings to mind, as a gentle yet powerful reminder, the essence of the human condition that has not yet evolved beyond these shown prison conditions. The message of the film makes the state of our inner struggle perfectly clear. While we can hide behind complex facades of philosophies and technologies in our society, this is not possible in these do or die prison conditions, where the soul is stripped bare. Jacobi and Kani deliver powerful performances. Schoolman succeeded in conveying an understanding of the personal struggle of Caesar, the demons he faced and partially overcame, the forces that drive him, greed, love, fear, lust for power and recognition, and that they do not look so different from what everyone else is going through in life.
