The 3 Penny Opera
Let the fantasy take you far, far away...
Directed by G.W. Pabst
Produced by Nero-Film AG, Tobis Filmkunst
A darkly satirical musical stage adaptation that uses Brechtian alienation and cynical wit to expose the moral corruption lurking beneath Victorian society's veneer.
In London at the turn of the century, underworld kingpin Mack the Knife marries Polly Peachum without the knowledge of her father, the equally enterprising 'king of the beggars'.
