Funny, moving and superb

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2000)

Funny, moving and superb....... this film takes some modern-day parallels and dilemmas and turns them to Elizabethan English charm and atmosphere. Rarely in recent cinema have I laughed and cried so heartily and with such feeling.
Beautifully shot, orchestrated and cast, this film will deliver in every way.
(A working knowledge of Shakespeare's works will add an extra element in the way of the numerous in-jokes and the lovely twist at the end).
