Inventive staging of the Shakespeare classic...
“A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is an adaptation of director Julie Taymor’s stage production at Brooklyn’s Theatre for a New Audience that combines both elements of live theatre and cinema. With minimal props and cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto’s steadicam cameras weaving throughout the action, the result is an unusual, even controversial take on Shakespeare’s often-filmed play. Dialogue is right from the Bard, but the play has a freshness and daring unlike other screen versions that tend to adhere religiously and respectfully to a traditional adaptation.<br /><br />The cast features Max Casella as Nick Bottom, Tina Benko as Titania, David Harewood as Oberon, King of Shadows, but the stand-out is Kathryn Hunter as Robin Goodfellow Puck, whose bodily flexibility is wondrous as she flits and prances about with athletic ability both graceful and confident.<br /><br />This version unfolds in a shadowy night, with tiny creatures — fairies played by children — peering through the darkness. A bed at center stage is raised aloft, a pillow fight takes place, projections of flowers serve as backdrops, billowy sheets create an otherworldly atmosphere, a forest is composed of ever-shifting silvery bamboo sticks, and a fairy queen sleeps in a hammock descending from the sky.<br /><br />Ms. Taymor has tackled Shakespeare previously in the films “Titus,” with Jessica Lange and Anthony Hopkins, and “The Tempest,” with Helen Mirren in a gender-neutral portrayal of Prospero. Taymor also designed the incredible creatures in the Broadway production of “The Lion King” and was involved with the troubled “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.” Her artistic visions are always unique and memorable and this holds true of this movie, which Taymor calls a “hybrid of live theatre and film.” A lot of the magic of live theatre is being there, experiencing the play as the actors perform it. Though the movie attempts to capture much of the magic with multiple cameras, the film makes you wish you had seen the stage production. However, It’s worthwhile seeing the film to marvel at Ms. Taylor’s visual artistry, which is inventive, often humorous, and sometimes downright creepy.<br /><br />Bonus materials on the Blu-ray release include behind-the-scenes footage and trailers.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : From the mind of award-winning director Julie Taymor (The Lion King on Broadway, Frida, Titus) comes a Shakespeare adaptation like none other, A Midsummer Night's Dream. Rich with Taymor's trademark creativity, this immersive and darkly poetic cinematic experience brings the play's iconic faries, spells, and hallucinatory lovers to life. Filmed at her sold-out stage production with cinematography by Rodrigo Prieto (Argo, Frida) and music by Academy Award-winning composter Ellior Goldenthal (Frida, Heat), 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.Special Features: Behind-the-scenes footage | Trailers.
