criticism

“While the audience in the theater is always aware of the entire stage, Langhoff directs the television direction, in precise coordination with the cameraman, consciously to the close-up, to the atmospheric expanse of the landscape, to processes that are sophisticated down to the last detail, so that the camera becomes the decisive player. "

“'Drei Schwestern' is a film of high aesthetic value and at the same time a document of a large stage production. The artistic marriage between theater and television has borne fruit. "
