(D)Trevor Nunn. 1996.
Okay. One might likely know Shakespeare better, if liked this film. As I'll admit:
I LOVE IT!
Can't get enough of it. Action. Setting. Music...both tonal, and in language!
"What should I do in Illyria?" Olivia asks.
How about, Live? I would thou coulds't.
From Rendazzo to Mistrea.
Or is't rather like Orsino's, "And what's her history?" To Viola's..."A blank, my lord...."
?
-Act V, Scene I
This film version is some of my best post 9/11 medicine yet. It's fiction, though rooted in reality. And the music....
I'm gone....
"OLIVIA!!!!"
