What Shakespeare Says About Film,
By Macready Lawes (The Acoastal Regions) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shakespeare in the Cinema: Ocular Proof (SUNY Cultural Studies in Cinema/Video series) (Paperback)
Fun to read and even more fun when tracking down unfamiliar films and when revisiting classic movie versions of Shakespeare's plays. Following in the tradition of critics like Kenneth Rothwell and Samuel Crowl, Buhler is warmly appreciative of most efforts to translate Shakespeare into film. Along with such theory-alert scholars as Courtney Lehmann and Richard Burt, he is also interested in how the "Shakespeare industry" fits into larger cultural movements. The chapter on the contest between Laurence Olivier and Orson Welles as directors -- and on what Kenneth Branagh learned from that battle -- is especially insightful and provocative.
