Summary

 Adaptation of the Shakespeare play, filmed during a stage performance: "This immersive and darkly poetic cinematic experience brings the play's iconic fairies, spells and hallucinatory lovers to life ... the feats of visual imagination are ingenious and plentiful, but beating at the center of the film is an emotionally moving take on the deeper human aspects of Shakespeare's beloved tale"--Container.

 'Once a year, there is a day of midsummer madness, that Shakespeare was riffing off of, when all our worlds are topsy-turvy, and what happens in the realm of shadow and dream, alters and distorts the everyday world, which seems so ordinary."

My Notes

  A bravura production by Julie Taymor of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Nights Dream from a live 2014 season only recently released to dvd.  Eye-popping is not an exaggeration.
Other Taymor productions for the stage are "The Lion King" and Mozart's The Magic Flute at the Metropolitan Opera (also on DVD).

  The dvd is available and there are some extras with that.  I encourage libraries and schools to get these for the theatre craft as much as for the acting that this displays.    Support the DVD where and when you can.
