There are the standard Bard flicks - Olivier's Hamlet, Henry V and Richard III - and there are the lesser-known films that manage to get at the essence of their stories in different ways ... Looking for Richard (1996) - Pacino doesn't give us Richard III so much as he gives us bits and pieces of the play as he tries to explain why the play is important and how he (and the other actors - Kevin Spacey, Winona Ryder, Aidan Quinn) make their choices.

This means that several inconsistent passages can be found in some of his more notable works, King Lear and Richard III. Small errors could have easily been caused by the printer leaving out crucial words that Shakespeare once wrote.

She also mixes in metaphoric references to the twisted character of Richard III (a role Sean is rehearsing) and the chilly air of creativity (Fenton's studio is supposed to be above the tree line where the temperature can drop to "sub-zero") - interesting ideas that add little to the drama.

Ever since Shakespeare, who whitewashed the Tudors and trashed competitors like Richard III, writers and others have retooled the past to suit their literary or political ends, or both.
