In Reply to: What are your favourit WS films? posted by patrickU on June 3, 2005 at 08:32:07:
I love all of Welles' Shakespeare films! I think "Othello" is probably the best one overall, followed by "Chimes at Midnight" and then "Macbeth". Amazing things in all three, but the single best sequence in any Welles' Shakespearean movie is the fight in the mud that is the centerpiece of "Chimes".I also love Olivier's 1944 version of "Henry V." And I shall never forget Peter Cushing in Olivier's 1948 "Hamlet".
Because I once acted in a university production heavily based on it, I have a special place in my heart for Zefferelli's 1968 "Romeo and Juliet."
Just curious, how do the French jokes in "Henry V", and that great conversation between Catherine and her maid in Act III, Scene IV go over in France?
Follow Ups:
Well placed in the context of the long time feud between France and England they are the real original ennemies, the French still speaking of " the perfide Albion " you can imagine...
I think there always will remain a sekptical part in the relationship of the two countries.
See de Gaulle and Churchill in the last war at London town.Well I maybe the one here but I also like " Shakespeare in Love " for its lightness and spirit distilled in the essense of WS comedies.
Much less talked but also quite good is this one:
