Cinematic Shakespeare takes the reader inside the making of a
number of significant adaptations to illustrate how cinema
transforms and re-imagines the dramatic form and style central to
Shakespeare's imagination. Cinematic Shakespeare investigates how
Shakespeare films constitute an exciting and ever-changing film
genre. The challenges of adopting Shakespeare to cinema are like
few other film genres. Anderegg looks closely at films by Laurence
Olivier (Richard III), Orson Welles (Macbeth), and Kenneth Branagh
(Hamlet) as well as topics like "Postmodern Shakespeares" (Julie
Taymor's Titus and Peter Greenaway's Prospero's Books) and multiple
adaptations over the years of Romeo and Juliet. A chapter on
television looks closely at American broadcasting in the 1950s (the
Hallmark Hall of Fame Shakespeare adaptations) and the
BBC/Time-Life Shakespeare Plays from the late 70s and early 80s.
