Title: The medium hides the message
Product review: This production has some possibly interesting features, such as the emphasis on rain - the "weather gone awry" of Titania's big speech. The trouble with it is its almost amateurish look and sound: no attempt, most of the time, to simulate night, not even with a blue filter. And the postproduction dubbing of the sound is (a) not entirely careful of lip movement, and (b) acoustically uniform: indoors sounds like indoors, outdoors sounds like indoors, everything sounds as though spoken in a small, slightly resonant room - this quite torpedoes any sense of immediacy, space, or Nature. The medium constantly hampers the transmission of the message.
