“You always end with a jade’s trick!”
I guess I should have known, but wasn’t aware this film was done in Shakespearean verse until it began, and even then I thought the opening scene was going to give way to modern dialog. It took some getting used to, but once well under way, the picture turned out to be quite entertaining. I’m not a Shakespeare buff, so the material was all new to me and the actors involved did a fine job of presenting the play. Maybe this would be a good way to introduce classic literature to an otherwise disinterested audience. I recently watched “Shakespeare in Love” and that was cleverly done as well, however the black and white filming using a present day setting in this film was rather unique. For added poignancy, I think I’ll now seek out the Kenneth Branagh version for comparison. I might become a Shakespeare buff after all.
