MCT:April 1, 2008Let me start out by saying that I don't like documentaries. Usually I avoid them like the plague, because frankly, I find them boring. But when I saw this film was a documentary involving Al Pacino and Shakespeare, I decided to give it a try. I still expected to be bored apart from oggling Pacino the whole film and drooling over tidbits of him reading the Bard, but I was pleasantly surprised... No, that's not the right word, pleasantly BLOWN AWAY by the amazing-ness of this film. Pacino's passion for his work is evident in every single scene, whether he's just asking random ppl on the street what they think of Shakespeare to actually acting out scenes. It was really interesting to watch him and his friends and colleagues just sit down and discuss, sometimes even argue about their interpretations of Richard III. And it was really eye-opening to hear the opinions of Shakespearean scholars / veteran actors talk about how Americans downplay / negate their ability to do Shakespeare just because they don't have English accents. I admit, I thought Shakespeare wouldn't be quite the same without an authentic accent, just because that's the way you always hear it done, so it was really enlightening to have some of those expectations dispelled by this film. The actual scenes that were acted out from Richard III were just spell-binding, too, particularly the Lady Anne scene w/ Winona Ryder. I mean, Richard III convinces Lady Anne to marry him right after she's expressed her undying hatred for him for having caused the deaths of her husband and father, and you BELIEVE IT. Amazing stuff! =D

MCT:March 19, 2008A very interesting and helpful insight into Shakespeare and his play King Richard. You have to be willing to learn something though. Otherwise you could get bored...

MCT:February 12, 2008Love the editing in this one, the way they intentionally cut back and forth betweent the actors in real life rehearsing their lines to them performing the actual play, so it kind of blends together with the actors and their characters. Extremely interesting.

Extremely overlooked. Part documentary, part dramatization, ALL an examination of the importance of Shakespeare in our society...and a great dissection of Richard III.
