The Mandrake Root (Institutional Use) Review

Please count me among the European Drama company's sincere and enthusiastic fans! I received a copy of the Mandrake Root. With great anticipation I watched the film unfold with a rhythm, tempo, agility, and grace that remained faithful to the text. The direction and skilled actors were able to maintain Machiavelli's wit while updating his humour. A genuine tour de force and a great, great pleasure to watch.
