Film - Orson Welles’ Macbeth (1948)
Date: 11 Mac 12


Shakespeare on Film Season 2012 ~ Orson Welles’ Macbeth (1948)
After the scandal of Citizen Kane, Welles was persona non-grata in Hollywood. No-one would give him any cash, especially to make his first film Shakespeare. So to save money he shot his version of the Scottish play on leftover sets from old cowboy movies and cast himself and friends to act alongside him. Despite all these restrictions, he still created a dark, brooding and frankly, scary tale of evil, murder and witchcraft; probably the only ‘Film Noir’ Shakespeare. Starring Orson Welles and Jeanette Nolan

Date: 18 Mac 12


Shakespeare on Film Season 2012 ~ Franco Zeffireli’s Hamlet (1990)
Like Welles, Zeffirelli made three Shakespeare films. The other two were slick and bursting with Italian brio while this bit of Zeffirelli’s Shakespeare is bleak, cold and very Danish; crumbling bare Medieval castle rooms and walls which still grabbed an Oscar nomination for Art Direction. But it’s the cast that makes this rather special as it features an action hero as the prince, outraged and violent, and a screen seductress as his suspiciously affectionate mother. Starring Mel Gibson and Glen Close.
