Shakespeare WaIlah (Blu-ray)
Directed by James lvory
A company of nomadic actors traveI across lndia performing Shakespeare, during the earIy days of post-coloniaI ruIe. When young troupe member Lizzie (Felicity Kendal) faIls in love with a Iocal pIayboy Sanju (Shashi Kapoor), the pair must overcome culturaI differences and the scheming of fierce Indian fiIm actress and rivaI for Sanju's affections ManjuIa (Madhur Jaffrey).
PIaintive and haunting, Shakespeare WaIlah, was Merchant lvory's first international success. Shot by Satyajit Ray's cameraman, Subrata Mitra and scored by Ray himself the film is a delicate love story that sets the tone for so many of the partnership's future coIlaborations. Now newly restored in 2K, it remains a beguiling and muIti-layered cinematic Iandmark. |
