Thông tin về bộ phim này

This is a fascinating documentary-style film about Academy Award®-winning actor Al Pacino's staging of Richard; and his simultaneous exploration of the relevance of Shakespeare to people in every walk of life. Every scene of the play is dissected by actors and scholars prior to us seeing it performed, thus bringing the play brilliantly to life. Pacino's directorial debut takes the audience on a fascinating journey through the actor's process, preparing the audience for classical drama in its highest form. Richard schemes murderously for the throne at the expense of his brother Clarence (Alec Baldwin), his wife Lady Anne (Winona Ryder), his sidekick Buckingham (Kevin Spacey), and just about everyone else who crosses his path. The film also stars Aidan Quinn as Richmond, and includes interviews with F. Murray Abraham, Gil Bellows, Kenneth Branagh, Kevin Kline, James Earl Jones, John Gielgud and Vanessa Redgrave, among dozens of others. ...

A wonderful documentary/film that actually doesn't just tell the story but EXPLAINS it as you are watching. The only way Shakespeare can be understood.. This is a brilliant production and Al Pacino deserves KUDOS. I could watch it over and over. Thanks so much to the actors and those who worked on this production.I'll never hear the words A HORSE. A HORSE MY KINGDOM FOR A HORSE again and not think of this adaptation. Thanks Al

I first stumbled upon the movie on VHS many years ago but I keep coming back to it again and again. It hasn't lost any of its interest over the years - classic.

Absolutely enthralled with this movie/documentary. Totally brilliant.
