Te-di-ous. Experimentation for the sake of experimentation. Derek Jarman supposedly tries to take us on a visually poetic journey accompanied by the poems of William Shakespeare, but the result is just a mess of repetitive, unbearable, and near to meaningless images either not linked at all or too simply connected to some of the minor pieces (for a reason) from “England’s national poet”.

Laurence Olivier masterfully directs and superbly acts which might very probably be the best adaptation of this William Shakespeare classic to the screen.
