Great artists steal. So why not steal from the greatest playwright in the english language, William Shakespeare? Too old fashioned? Too hard to understand? Too dull/misogynist/racist? Combo platter? Shakespeare is possibly all those things but great movies from wildly disparate cultures and times have been made from his plays because the film-makers knew the secret to bringing his stories to life for a modern audience. What is that filmmaking secret? Louis Fantasia, international Shakespeare Guru, and Michael Patrick Jann discuss it as they get deep about Three Great Shakespeare Movies. If you dig movies and directing, you'll love this.
