Description
In this week’s minisode, Will and James discuss Michael Radford’s 2004 adaptation of The Merchant of Venice, starring Al Pacino, Jeremy Irons, and Joseph Fiennes’ distinctive mullet. Despite its sumptuous costume and scenery that Pacino avoids chewing during the course of his humane performance as Shylock, the movie still doesn’t quite work. The guys break down why and discuss whether Merchant can work as a movie today. // CREDITS // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: Jon Sayles, “Saltarello” (composed by anonymous); Illustrative Excerpt: “The Merchant of Venice,” dir. Michael Radford (2004)
