About this product

Product Information

One of the immortal bard's most frequently performed works gets a first-rate cinematic treatment here, via director Michael Radford (IL POSTINO). Al Pacino is virtually unrecognizable as Shylock, bringing an old-world gravitas to the role and clearly inspiring the rest of the cast to match his intensity. They succeed, and the result is riveting, rousing entertainment. Even if one is familiar with the play in advance, this is white-knuckle suspense and swooning romance all the way through. A 16th-century Venetian sea merchant (Jeremy Irons), devoted to a young lord (Joseph Fiennes), owes a debt for "a pound of flesh" to the anguished Jewish moneylender Shylock. Lovingly filmed in Venice, the film looks great, with settings and costumes all sporting a dusky, lived-in look that matches the subdued, naturalistic interpretation of the dialogue. Lynn Collins is excellent and ethereal as Portia, and her love scenes with Fiennes have an alchemical power that lifts them to dizzyingly mythic romantic heights. Vague homoerotic content and the grim realities of Jewish oppression are not shied away from here, which lends the film further richness and complexity. With the play's rich array of dramatic and comedic elements all perfectly in tune, MERCHANT OF VENICE earns its place as the first truly great Shakespeare film of the 21st century.

    Seeking revenge never pays—everyone loses.

    It is one of the truly “great” Shakespeare productions and the cast is outstanding. Pacino takes one’s breath away with his acting, as does Irons, and the disguised ladies were subtle and convincing as males while never losing their ‘true’ characters underneath. The play is a profound message to us all regarding ethnic bias and prejudice, as well as forgiving each other for being so painfully human. Deeply moving.

    The Finest Shakespeare Production Ever Filmed

    Al Pacino is extraordinary and perfect as Shylock, Jeremy Irons and Joseph Fiennes, too, are luminous. It's filmed in Venice, Rome, and and other European locales, which gives it more realism than any other production ever done before. It's also the least-abridged Merchant you've probably ever seen. Even if you think you don't like The Bard, this will illuminate your mind and heart.

    Not as good as Shakespeare in Love

    I am hard of hearing so rely on closed captioning for which there were no English closed captioning only French.
