Watch After the Rehearsal (1984) Online Free

Rational, exacting, and self-controlled theater director, Henrik Vogler, often stays after rehearsal to think and plan. On this day, Anna comes back, ostensibly looking for a bracelet. She is the lead in his new production of Stindbergs A Dream Play. She talks of her hatred for her mother, now dead, an alcoholic actress, who was Voglers star and lover. Vogler falls into a reverie, remembering a day Annas mother, Rakel, late in life, came after rehearsal to beg him to come to her apartment. He awakes and Anna reveals the reason she has returned: she jolts him into an emotional response, rare for him, and the feelings of a young woman and an older man play out.
