Book Synopsis
This collection models an approach to Shakespeare and cinema that is concerned with the `other’ side of Shakespeare’s Hollywood celebrity, taking the reader on a practical and theoretical tour through important, non-mainstream films and the oppositional messages they convey. The collection includes essays on early silent adaptations of Hamlet, Greenway’s Prospero’s Books, Godard’s King Lear, Hall’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Taymor’s Titus, Polanski’s Macbeth, Welles’ Chimes at Midnight,I., and Van Sant’s My Own Private Idaho.
