Al Pacino = Shylock

| Movie Haiku: | SPLIT DECISION: We agree that Irons makes a perfect Antonio. We disagree totally on Pacino as Shylock. Rich found him compelling; Jan thought he was out-of-sync with his cast members. While Radford succeeds at making Shakespeare cinematic, Jan thinks the various “comedy” versus “tragedy” components never become a coherent whole. ***** For more, see the “Columns” section for Jan’s WJD review. |
