Twelfth Night, or As You Like It

About This Movie

So, this 1985 adaptation of 'Twelfth Night, or As You Like It' is quite a curiosity, blending modern street ballet with Shakespeare's themes of love and mistaken identities. The way the brother and sister are swept into this vibrant fairyland feels fresh, almost whimsical. The performances have a certain charm, though they don't always nail the pacing like one might hope. You get this unique atmosphere, a mix of contemporary and classic that pulls you in, almost like you're in a dream. And the practical effects? They really create an immersive world. It's distinct, especially in how it juxtaposes the mundane against a backdrop of fantasy. An interesting watch for those who appreciate experimental adaptations.
