Hamlet (Miramax)
This is the version which stars Ethan Hawkes. Another Film.com review, which describes Hawkes as "bland and untalented" and the film as a "mopey, dopey thing"!
Love's Labour's Lost (Kenneth Branagh) - Official Site
A synopsis of the film, the trailer (Quicktime movie), the players (both cast and creative team), a Q&A session with Branagh about the film, a gallery of pictures and setails about the soundtrack, including a few words from composer Patrick Doyle.
Love's Labour's Lost (The Kenneth Branagh Compendium)
News, articles (you need to scroll down to the bottom of this massive list to get to the "LLL" articles), photos from the film and of related events (mainly premieres), the soundtrack (a listing and sleeve notes), and some screencaps.
A Midsummer Night's Dream (Twentieth Century Fox)
There are two versions of the site, Flash and non-Flash. The Flash version is prettier but its navigation is far from intuitive and there is no indication of what the rather twee page title (Fairy Garden, for instance, and Titania's Bower) actually mean. The non-Flash version's Javascript at least explains. There are pages on the cast, the history of the film, notes on the crew and on the soundtrack. Of the rest, the News and Study Guide page isn't there and the rest is really quite irrelevant - and somewhat out of date!
A Midsummer Night's Dream (Peter Hall)
Peter Hall's film of his 1968 RSC version of Dream, starring (among others) Diana Rigg, Helen Mirren, Michael Jayston, David Warner, Judi Dench, Ian Richardson and Ian Holm. Lots of stills with appropriate quotes.
Romeo + Juliet (Baz Luhrmann)
According to Michael Bogdanov, this film probably did more to popularise Shakespeare than everything the RSC has ever done! Reminiscent in some ways of West Side Story, this film isn't to everyone's taste. Go along to this site and see what all the fuss was about!
Titus Andronicus
(Clear Blue Sky Films) A synopsis, character breakdown, production notes, cast and crew biographies, awards and recognition.
Titus Andronicus
(Fox Films) Needs Flash 4 and takes a long time to load. The cast, the film-makers, the film itself, the trailer (to download), plus quite a lot by director Julie Taymor about her approach to the filming.
Titus Reviewed 1
A dismissive review from the "Washington Post".
Titus Reviewed 2
A more positive review from "Time"
Titus Reviewed 3
A fairly positive review from the "Telegraph"
Zefferelli's
Romeo and Juliet
A fan site devoted to the 1968 film version, with pictures, a cast
list, merchandise and details of the music. Not for Shakespearean
scholars: it is created by someone who clearly knows little about
Shakespeare or British theatre.
