In Rebibbia Prison in Italy, its inmate theatre program puts on a well received production of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. The film goes back several months earlier as the coordinators announces the play as the program's production of the year. With that project set, we see its creation as the cast is auditioned and selected for this artistic challenge. As they rehearse, the prisoners, many of whom are long termers and lifers for serious crimes, find that the classic play has both a striking resonance and contrast to their confined lives. 现实的历史镜像。「如果可以說服他的精神，就不需要剖開他的胸膛。」。不近艺术不懂笼牢。在艺术里找回另外一个自己。《凯撒必须死》。《凯撒必须死》：故事里的事。获奖情况。观影日记。艺术才是小坚强。Drama in drama,dream in dream。 意大利罗马监狱Rabibia，一批来自五湖四海的重刑犯。这些被判数十载甚至终生监禁的囚犯，经过试镜、排练，排演着莎士比亚戏剧《尤利乌斯·凯撒》。他们在监狱的房间、走道、操场上，演绎着那段两千年前的阴谋和悲剧。 本部由意大利兄弟档导演保罗与维克托里奥·塔维亚尼执导的影片《凯撒必须死》，荣获2012年第62届柏林国际电影节竞赛单元金熊奖及天主教人道精神奖，并在2012年第25届欧洲电影奖上获得最佳影片提名。影片以纪录片的形式全景实拍，浓重的黑白色调带有非常强烈的戏剧效果。导演塔维亚尼兄弟花费六个月跟踪拍摄这部舞台剧的排练，而片中这些排练莎士比亚戏剧的重刑犯并非专业演员，而是监狱中真正的囚犯。在剧中死掉的凯撒，在现实生活中，也必须死掉。
