Shakespeare on Screen

Synopsis
YouTube video by Jeff Palermo in which he discusses the film and TV adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays that he thinks worked most successfully. He references a number of celebrated adaptations including Orson Welles’ Othello, Macbeth and Chimes at Midnight, the BBC’s An Age of Kings and The Hollow Crown, Kenneth’s Branagh and Laurence Olivier’s film versions of Hamlet and Henry V and Luhrmann and Zeffirelli’s films from Romeo and Juliet. Akira Kurosawa’a Ran, from King Lear, is one of the few foreign language versions covered.
