(D)Trevor Nunn. 1996.

Okay. One might likely know Shakespeare better, if liked this film. As I'll admit:

I LOVE IT!

Can't get enough of it. Action. Setting. Music...both tonal, and in language!

"What should I do in Illyria?" Olivia asks.

How about, Live? I would thou coulds't.

From Rendazzo to Mistrea.

Or is't rather like Orsino's, "And what's her history?" To Viola's..."A blank, my lord...."

?

"To see thee ever cross gartered." Too much.

This film version is some of my best post 9/11 medicine yet. It's fiction, though rooted in reality. And the music....

I'm gone....

"OLIVIA!!!!"
