 | A Terrific Guide Nov 10, 2007 |
"100 Shakespeare Films" is the best in the BFI's 100 film series so far. Daniel Rosenthal covers films based on Shakespeare's plays in alphabetical order. He begins with a synopsis of the play, and then discusses each film version of the play from earliest to most recent.
The result is a surprisingly varied amount of works, ranging from an 8 minute silent version of "The Tempest" to Kenneth Branagh's just released "As You Like It." The book also covers films that take Shakespeare's stories and put them into different settings, such as "Forbidden Planet" and "Joe Macbeth." Foreign language versions of Shakespeare, such as the Soviet productions of "Hamlet," "King Lear" and "Othello" are discussed as well.
The result is a marvellous and enjoyable book that will bring an unexpected film to the attention of every film buff and provides a wide sample of how filmmakers have dealt with Shakespeare. Highly recommended. | | | Write your own review about 100 Shakespeare Films (BFI Screen Guides)
