BIZARRE MIX



Shakespeare's adaptations are rarely done the right way when it comes to big screen. Classical adaptations have their very strict limitations, so seldomly movie creators try to brake the cliche and place one of his plays in a modern backdrop.

„Richard III” from 1995 does it in a most radical way, placing the story about the brutal heir to the English trone in a Nazi-like modern Britain. Solid portrayal by Ian McKellen and the all-British cast will be somewhat diminished by the hardcore script that will stand out from all the modern (and excellent) production and costimography.

„Richard III” is the most original interpretation of Shakespeare, but also the most bizzare one as well.
