Shakespeare In Love - 1998 - 7/10
Nicely told fairy tale of the famous playwright hitting writer’s block.
The cure? A clandestine affair with a lady betrothed to powerful Lord Wessex.
Instead of a typical romance, this bounces freely across the theatre boards.
Struggling acting companies, arcane legal restrictions, figuring out what the punter want.
And will play for.
Paltrow and Fiennes have exciting chemistry; the whole cast is top notch.
For worries, dialogue is NOT Elizabethan English.
Terrific date movie.
