American Experience: Eugene O'Neill: A Documentary Film

American Experience: Eugene O'Neill: A Documentary Film DVD VIDEO PBS life work Type: Movie Platform: DVD Publisher: WGBH Released: 2006 Media: DVD EUGENE O'NEILL tells the haunting story of the life and work of America's greatest and only Nobel Prize-winning playwright. More than a biography, this AMERICAN EXPERIENCE production is a moving meditation on loss and redemption, family and memory, the inescapability of the past, and the cost of being an artist. It is also a penetrating explora-tion of the masterpieces O'Neill created only at the very end of his career—The Iceman Cometh and Long Days Journey Into Night pre-eminent among them—brought to life in mesmerizing scenes performed especially for the production by some of the most gifted actors working in theater today, including Al Pacino, Zoe Caldwell, Christopher Plummer, Robert Sean Leonard, Liam Neeson, and Vanessa Redgrave.
