This Old TV Show Has Better Directing Than Anything Today
A video essay about the legendary 1976 BBC miniseries “I, Claudius“: the intrigue-heavy, blood-soaked, sex-maniac, decades-spanning story of the first four Roman emperors.
Brilliantly adapted by Jack Pulman from the novels by Robert Graves, the series was directed by journeyman Herbert Wise. Here you’ll see how his deft camerawork and creative blocking elevated a seemingly stagy production into an extraordinary example of effective cinematic staging.
The stunning cast features Derek Jacobi (Claudius), Siân Phillips (Livia), Brian Blessed (Augustus), John Hurt (Caligula), Patrick Stewart (Sejanus), George Baker (Tiberius) and Patricia Quinn (Livilla).
