About this product

Product Information

In this well-conceived Elizabethan comedy, writers Tom Stoppard and Marc Norman ask the question: Who was William Shakespeare's muse? The answer: Viola de Lesseps, a young noblewoman who dreams of acting on a man's stage. The screenwriters deliver a cleverly crafted scenario which beautifully illustrates both the early aspirations of the playwright, and a glimpse into the culture of Elizabethan theater. Colorful characters, like the Globe theater owner Henslow (played by Geoffrey Rush), the lead player in the troupe (Ben Affleck), and the Queen herself (Judi Dench), give the cast charm, wit, and feasibility. The young playwright who at the start of the film is experiencing writer's block bursts forth with a lyrical text inspired by the lovely and passionate Viola. Ultimately this film is about the making of a great play, but most importantly it is about the power of words.

  • A magnificent film

    This clever, sophisticated, brilliant movie won 7 Oscars, including best picture. Superb acting, wonderful costumes, comedy, tragedy, sensual love scenes, many familiar actors in surprising roles. There wasn't always much of an attempt to be historically accurate - the film is set in 1593 but alludes to plantations in Virginia and in a deleted scene to "America", but the viewer doesn't care about such things because they are overwhelmed and forgotten in the magnificence and perfection of the movie.

  • Shakespeare in Love manages to mirror Romeo and Juliet so we don't hate the ending anymore.

    I'd forgotten how many Academy awards were capyured by this movie back when Fiennes and Paltrow were so young. Judi Dench, Colin Firth and Geoffry Rush were all "scarey good" and Ben Affleck surprised me. See it again.
