This is gorgeous in several ways. Love the starkness of the black and white.
His voice is beautiful, easy and natural, as if these words are his. He’s compelling to watch too. You see him right in each moment. I particurarly love when the mood changes, the little smile playing on his eyes and mouth as he thinks of his love, the slight seductive roll of the shoulders, the final glint at, “That then I scorn to change my state with kings”.
Exquisite.
Finally I get to see him do ol’ Shakey. Totally worth the wait. He’s got a British kind of approach to it, doesn’t he – very classical.
Yes, I forgot to credit that guy Shakespeare for some pretty decent lines.
It is a familiar classical British kind of approach and sooooo good. He’s really got to do some Shakey sometime. Would almost be a crime if he didn’t.
