![]() ![]() ![]() With an awesome ensemble cast featuring everyone from Ben Affleck to Geoffrey Rush via Martin Clunes the film is pretty much flawless both funny and tragic (not unlike the play). ![]() It’s a brilliant movie, imagining how the great writer came up Romeo a nd Juliet based on his own experience as a star cross’d lover. The film in question is Shakespeare in Love. In fact, the reason for me not watching it for so long was that I only have it on video…that was an old school experience. Last night a rediscovered a film I hadn’t seen in ages and I wanted to remind you all of it ‘cos I’m willing to bet most of you have forgotten about it too. OK, this should be a quickie, since I have an exam tomorrow and am (clearly) not revising for it, but I wont be able to concentrate until I’ve blogged.
