All Shakespeare should be made like this.
|
| This fabulous animated version of Shakespeare's play is second only to Orson Welles. Naturally it is freed from the constraints of the stage and real actors, and there is an exciting paciness impossible in more ponderous live action. But it is also freed from the text; rather, it translates Shakespeare's vivid word-painting into actual visuals, releasing the playwright's multi-layered, intricately textured art from a verbosity unlikely to be understood without studying the play beforehand. Visually, the film is a startling mixture of Greek tragedy, dark Gothic and violent hallucination, and there is a satisfying goriness about the murder scenes, with their dripping aftermaths, you just can't get with clever angles and chocolate sauce. |
