Re: Macbeth ... yes, a strange, fascinating film that is very visually inventive. Made on a shoestring budget, but totally inspired.

Re: Falstaff ... Listed above as "Chimes at Midnight" (full title is "Falstaff: Chimes at Midnight") ... I can understand that. It moves fast, with little time for measured exposition, with a theatrical, almost musical sense of collective spontaneity to its characters and conversational relay between them -- with a pace and fluidity that reminds me of a cinematic rendition of Mozart or Haydn's most exuberant compositions. It deserves to seen again, especially if what you saw it on 20 years ago was a low-quality transfer (most likely). The acting is exceptional, the sense of movement and the visuals are stunning if seen in the proper version.
