Stage Beauty; and a fanfic rec
Jul. 3rd, 2005 08:26 amBack in Munich, right in time to catch the end of the Munich Film Festival. The film I saw was Stage Beauty, which I'm aware is familiar with the English speaking since quite a while, but it hasn't been shown in Germany yet. I loved it.
To get the obvious comparison out of the way, what this has in common with Shakespeare in Love is that neither cares about factual accuracy very much, but one doesn't mind because of the cleverness and vitality, and because something quintessential about the theatre at the time is captured. Otherwise, the films are as different as an Elizabethan romp and a cynical, witty Restoration play would be.
( On with the show... )
