Albus R Oct 2, 2018 However talky and overly didactic, this is an interesting biography made for TV that wants to be as close as reality as possible, even if the Socrates we see here does sound more like a pedantic sophist than the influential thinker who became known for so many beautiful speeches.

Rey R May 26, 2018 Roberto Rossellini's biopic of the last days of the Greek philosopher is talky but intelligent.
