Apocalyptic Shakespeare Essays on Visions of Chaos and Revelation in Recent Film Adaptations

Films covered include Titus, William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, Almereyda's Hamlet, Revengers Tragedy, Twelfth Night, ...  more » Radford's The Merchant of Venice, The Lion King, and Godard's King Lear, among others that directly adapt or reference Shakespeare.
