The Plays of William Shakespeare, Vol. 5 - The Merry Wives of Windsor
"This video was so bad that I could barely watch it. And the fact that I had paid over $..... for it made me even madder. Shakespeare is abused in this video! The acting is terrible. Probably the worst I have ever seen. I am a high school drama teacher, and I have 14 and 15 year olds who can act better than these so-called professional actors! The direction was horrible, too. They say that this was probably how Shakespeare was actually played in the 16th Century. Bull! If any acting company ever played him like this, they would have been out of business really soon. I feel sorry for people who watch this and think that this is what Shakespeare is about. Don't buy this video!"
"In Playtime, Jacques Tati makes some of his sharpest commentary on urban alienation, but does it with a such a singularly light and subtle form of visual comedy that it often borders on the banal. Exquisitely so, though; this is both a broad fable and a complex film that rewards attention to its details."
The Plays of William Shakespeare, Vol. 5 - The Merry Wives of Windsor
"I was extrememly dissatisfied with the quality of the product, 'The Plays of William Shakespeare: The Merry Wives of Windsor' on DVD . Despite the claim that this series is 'Shakespearian Drama of the Highest Quality', this DVD is an amateurish home video-translated production. The audio was unitelligible, large parts of the play were out of focus and the digital navigation was impossible to use. While none of this is the fault of Amazon, the end result is a little like selling a book with several chapters missing. I wouldn't give this product to a high school, let alone sell it for [price] to a good customer. I asked for my money back, and strongly recommended Amazon reevaluate its relationship with this company, Kultur."
"Tati's film is very beautiful. It has a visual look that is unlike any other film. Mr. Hulot, our protagonist is surrounded by tall glass buildings and big blue skies, a very beautiful, yet disturbing avant garde image. This sticks out in my mind as Tati's greatest film, the one that made him great and broke his career. I recommend that you see it."
"I thought the covergirl would be the centerpiece of the film...How wrong I was. Otherwise, this is a campy bit of English...well...camp. Believe it or not, a few nude romps ensue. Ok in my humble opinion."
