Wow, he's made more movies than I thought he had... I have some catching up to do...
My favorite so far is Hamlet, which I adore, even if it's a little over the top. I much prefer his version of Henry V to Olivier's pompous, propagandized film version, which I found rather tasteless. And Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is vastly underrated -- closer to the novel than people claim, if too indulgent and sloppy to be called a masterpiece. It entertains me, and there is more than enough emotion in it to satisfy me. Much Ado About Nothing always brightens my mood. I can't think of a sunnier, more pleasant movie than that.
Where is Hamlet on DVD? There's been a spot on my shelf reserved for that film since 1999!  |
