In this magnum opus of the Nouvelle Vague, François Truffaut devises magnificent use of narration, dialogue, imagery and editing one of the most literary pieces ever created on film.
Laurence Olivier masterfully directs and superbly acts which might very probably be the best adaptation of this William Shakespeare classic to the screen.
This Soviet-Cuban production, which started filming only 3 years after the Cuban Revolution is a masterclass in visual poetry, besides being also a careful and detailed look to live during the last days of Fulgencio Batista’s regime.
It is because of movies such as this one that Ingmar Bergman is so far ahead of so many other filmmakers.
