| Movie Haiku: | Filmed version of the Royal National Theatre's production staring Goodman as an assertive, defiant Shylock. Setting evokes the decadent Berlin of the 1930s & Antonio's clearly presented here as Bassanio's jilted ex-lover. Goodman speaks with a strong Yiddish accent & croons to Jessica in Hebrew, making the subtext strongly Zionist. |
