Shakespeare revisited

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 1998)

I had the opportunity to see the preview of the movie on November 4th and it was a real good surprise. I was a little doubtful because of Gwyneth Paltrow who is not what I would call a great actress (so far) but in this movie she's just right. The plot is simple: Shakespeare falls in an impossible love and finds the material to write and to live Romeo and Juliet. Fiennes as Will S. is brillant, I think it's good to show Shakespeare as a funny and bright man because he must surely have been and it's always a pleasure to hear those beautiful words (don't worry the dialogues are not Shakespeare only). Great movie.
