It is the stories of love, suffering and life within the lush Greece forests written by Shakespeare the Great. This film tells of the dream of the middle of the summer night, which contains the story of love between young aristocrats who love through the tranquil and peaceful Greece forests. It is a set of events recounted by Shakespeare about the story of free love and active vital life and the hope that remains.
ultimately can't reconcile the distracting awkwardness that comes with placing these characters and dialogue into this setting. The result feels lost in translation.
Though no one stands out in the ensemble, everyone does a fantastic job of wrapping their mouths around Shakespeare's dialogue and giving it a present-day spin.
Mott's "Midsummer Night's Dream" may not have a high bar to reach to be better than average as filmed Shakespearean comedies go. But by any standard, it's a modest, resourceful and unexpected delight.
If you're hoping to see a production just like the one that would have been done in 1596, this ain't it. But Mott's version is a hell of a good time in its own right.
