Well, it would appear as though Shakespeare ran out of King Henrys, or Henries eitherway, it's a forced pluralization. The fusion of film and literature rarely reaches such beloved cohesion. This almost scoreless project should resonate more strongly than it does today. Note that this is not your typical Hollywood production both in terms of pacing and delivery. The cinematic Shakesperian adapter by excellence along with Orson Welles and above his descendant Kenneth Branagh, exalter of the gracious richness of dialogue, the constructer of royal and historical epicness Sir Laurence Olivier, produces and directs Shakespeare's tale set in 15th Century England about the tragic account of King Richard III, a man doomed to the treachery of his own deadly ambitions of power.įilmed as a spectacle and with a very ambitious scope which accentuates during the final act that takes place at the battle scene of Bosworth Fields, excellently acted by the entire ensemble cast, including the youngest side, with all of the most relevant plot's intricacies almost perfectly summarized into celluloid, and with a shockingly accurate performance by Olivier himself, Richard III consolidates his position as one of the most important literature fans in the film world, which theatrical staging matches its grandeur with hard-to-beat excellence.
