The plot
The protagonist of the film is the structure itself of the film and the attempt to piece together fragments of incomplete moments of life. The film was shot in 35 mm in Color, there are forty actors involved in the cast, and the content, while not violent, is harsh. THE DRESS REHEARSAL too was banned and censured from the Government authorities for blasphemy, irrational violence, outrage to the Flag, outrage to Religion and outrage to the Unknown Soldier. The result is that it has never been released because no one wants it. As usual, however, the young people all over Europe liked the film.
