Pure literate delight and playmaking education throughout. Filmmaking doe not get any better than this, and it does not have to.

The production is lavishly done with wonderful settings and costumes, the whole being a very enjoyable film which well deserved its many awards. We watched one of the extras too, with some of the cast and writers talking about the way the film was made - very interesting.

Recommended.

A film starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Joseph Fiennes (Miramax, 1998).

Shakespeare writes Romeo & Juliet while having an affair with an actress.

B (Good).

It's corny and heavy-handedly manipulative. But somehow, I don't know how or why, it won me over by the end.
