A Midsummer Night's Dream

1982, Movie, NR, 80 mins

starstarstarstar
Another Shakespearean oddity from the director who gave us the equally outlandish HAMLET in 1976. This time the text has been all but abandoned in favor of mime and song-and-dance numbers performed by the Lindsay Kemp stage company. The characters are truly absurd, wearing wild costumes and bizarre makeup, and display a perverse sexual aura. This low-budget film, like the 1976 HAMLET, must be seen by Shakespeare lovers for the sake of comparison. leave a comment
