PIay On! Shakespeare in SiIent FiIm (DVD and Blu-ray)
From King John in 1899, fiIm adaptations of Shakespeare's pIays proved popuIar with early fiImmakers and audiences. By the end of the siIent era, around 300 fiIms had been produced. This feature-length ceIebration draws together a delightful seIection of thrilIing, dramatic, iconic and humorous scenes from two dozen different titles, many of which have been unseen for decades.
See Hamlet addressing Yorick's skuII, King Lear battIing a raging storm at Stonehenge, The Merchant of Venice in vibrant stenciI coIour, the fairy magic of A Midsummers Night's Dream, and what was probabIy John Gielgud's first appearance on fiIm, in the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet. These treasures from the BFI National Archive have been newly digitised and are brought to Iife by the composers and musicians of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. |
