Review of Looking for Richard (1996) by Gail R — 03 Dec 2007
I think my favourite aspect of this documentary was the juxtaposition of the earnest "Method" approach with the scholarly musings of members of the Royal Shakespeare Company. On one side, you have a sort of deliberate ignorance (maybe innocence is the better word), aiming for purity of character development and motivation, and on the other, actors who simply know Shakespeare within their bones.
Which is the correct approach? Who cares? The play's the thing! (Wrong play, I know!).
