Title: Shakespearean masterpiece masterfully produced
Product review: I whole-heartedly join in the acclaim others have given to this wonderful work. I have seen it now three or four times and find it to be a loving and professional production. I will address my one quibble: as someone else has remarked, the sound quality is flawed; even though I have been through the play a number of times now, in varous formats, I still have difficulty with the dialogue in this film. The acting all around is indeed superb and the sets are a visual feast. Ben Kingsley provides a lot of "extras" in fleshing out the role of Festy. I would place this film on a level with Branagh's "Much Ado" if it were not for the sound. On the other hand, this is a film that I shall watch repeatedly and I suspect that the dialogue will become clearer with each viewing! This will probably be the definitive "Twelfth Night" for some time to come -- Shakespeare enthusiasts have another video gem for their collection.
