i am once again asking you to watch the 2019 shakespeare in the park production of much ado about nothing

[motionpicture-lover]

Films watched in 2023 (5/?)

I urge you to see this, it's SO GOOD!! I don't think I've ever heard or seen Shakespeare performed so naturally and flowingly, it's just *chef's kiss*!

Here's the full production on Archive.org.

I am highly enjoying discovering Alan Bates's filmography, there are so many gems.

I am currently re-watching "Butley" for the third time. His character – the eponymous Butley – is such a vile character but so well written and acted to perfection by Bates!

"Separate Tables" (1983) - John Schlesinger

Films I've watched in 2023 (4/?)

Full film can be found here on Archive.org (it's a compilation post of several obscure television films individually uploaded.) The image quality isn't the best, but it is very well worth the watch!
