Riveting theater treat
by Barbara G. Lifton (New York)
Contrary to the review published above, I saw this film at its premiere showing at the Film Forum in New York, and found it fascinating and exciting. The film was a riveting documentation of the organic artistic process in the theater. The film is far from a commercial for Sam Shepard - on the contrary, it demonstrates in part, the difficulty he had managing his volatile but brilliant cast for the production of his strange, fascinating play, The Late Henry Moss. Good for anyone in the theater or any of the arts.
3/5
intriguing documentary
by Roland E. Zwick (Valencia, Ca USA)
The documentary "This So-Called Disaster" is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Sam Sheppard's semi-autobiographical play "The Late Henry Moss," which debuted in San Francisco in 2000. Being himself the son of an alcoholic father, Sheppard drew upon his own personal experience for this cathartic tale of two brothers' coming to terms with the death of their own alcoholic father. The actors in this production include Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Cheech Marin and Woody Harrelson. As Penn says at one point, Sheppard's plays often deal with the theme of men trying to forge their identities in a world with no clear-cut definition of what a man is supposed to be. This theme filters through in both the snippets of the play we see being worked on in the rehearsals and in the on-camera interviews with Sheppard and many of the principal performers in the production.
It's a tribute to both the power of Sheppard's writing and the talent of the actors playing the roles that we find ourselves wanting to see this play merely from the glimpses we get of it in rough-cut form. Anyone interested in playwriting and fine acting will be mesmerized by the nuts-and-bolts aspects of this film, as it shows us just how a theatrical work, involving some of the greatest talents in modern drama, ultimately comes to fruition.
It's no "Looking for Richard," but "This So-Called Disaster" has much to offer the serious theaterphile.
5/5
excellent ... especially if you've seen the play!
by Christa Hillhouse (santa cruz, ca)
i could understand how this film might be a let-down for anyone not completed fascinated with the work of sam shepard, sean penn, and/or nick nolte. i respect the work of all three of them. and i am especially grateful for this film because i was lucky enough to see the play (and with the entire cast/no understudies) and the film lended a great deal to the experience. yay!

This So-Called Disaster
by Wuthering Heights (Maplewood, NJ USA)
You get to see the process of making a play using all the top stars and how they actually get into their roles.
Makes you want to see that play.

This So-Called Disaster
by John Farr
"Moss" is a dark, demanding piece, so the rehearsals director Michael Almereyda respectfully captures in "Disaster" are draining for all concerned. What transfixed this fly on the wall was how directors and actors adopt their own language in rehearsing a play--one virtually unintelligible to the layman, but to trained professionals, a pure dialect pinpointing emotion and motivation. "Disaster" is an absolute must for anyone interested in the inner workings of acting and the theatre.
