  • 1 the Merchant of Venice (Michael Radford, 2004)
    1 The Merchant of Venice (Michael Radford, 2004) This dense and moving film succeeds for a number of reasons. First, everyone speaks the lines as though this were the language in which they were brought up. It’s all conversational, never rhetorical: it has the realism of TV script dialogue, but with no sacrifice of clarity or beauty. Radford has developed (they rehearsed for five weeks) a consistent, understated style in actors as diverse as Al Pacino and Anton Rodgers. Secondly, huge amounts of the original survive – compare Branagh’s Loves Labours Lost , where very little survives, and what there is left is balanced by insulting junk. Even Old Gobbo is there, one of Shakespeare’s most cuttable roles. Shakespeare (so far from writing happily for The Sun , a claim I have heard made), would have been the most brilliant and profound screenwriter ever. Several speeches which a director less confident would remove or curtail, such as Bassanio’s monologue over the caskets, are not only there intact, but spoken (by Joseph Fiennes, in Bassanio’s case) with inwardness and deliberation. We are in no doubt that, materialist as his behaviour may seem in outline, Bassanio has his moral bearings. Thirdly, Radford keeps his camera close to the actors’ heads much of the time, giving a great sense of intimacy and urgency. He often seems , Kurosawa-like, to be using more than one camera – this is especially true of the trial scene: so that we get the feeling not only that we’re there in the court-crowd, but that it’s unfolding before us unedited.

  • Deceived with Ornament: Law, Lawyers and Shakespeare's the Merchant of Venice
    Deceived with Ornament: Law, Lawyers and * Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice By Paul M. Perell, L.S.M. WeirFoulds LLP The purpose of today’s colloquium is to study legal culture, legal history, legal ethics, and the role and responsibilities of law and lawyers in Canadian society. Fulfilling that purpose is part of the mission of the Chief Justice of Ontario’s Advisory Committee on Professionalism, whose mission is to maintain those aspects of the law that make it a learned and proud profession. I hope to make a contribution today by speaking to you about Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice. My thesis is that underneath the literary richness of this play are hidden messages about legal culture, legal history, and legal ethics; about the role of law and lawyers in society; and about the central role of language and interpretation in what we do as lawyers. The law and the legal process are inherently dramatic and a mirror of human nature and the play illustrates the enormous contribution that legal themes make to the arts. A discussion of the play provides us with an opportunity to reflect upon some fundamental aspects of what makes us a learned and proud profession. Harold Bloom, the well-known literary critic and Shakespearean scholar begins an essay about The Merchant of Venice by writing: “One would have to be blind, deaf and dumb not to recognize that Shakespeare’s grand, equivocal comedy The Merchant of Venice is nevertheless a profoundly anti-Semitic work.”1 A new movie version of The Merchant of Venice premiered at the recent Venice and Toronto Film Festivals, and the movie will open in theatres in December 2004.

  • The Merchant of Venice This Classic Shakespeare Play Was Filmed
    The Merchant of Venice This classic Shakespeare play was filmed or televised a dozen times last century, but a major international motion picture version of the drama has not appeared until now, with Michael Radford’s current mounting starring Al Pacino as Shylock and Jeremy Irons as Antonio. Though a major work, it’s a contentious one to present these days, with its obvious anti-Jewish elements and its marginalizing of the character of the money-lender Shylock. Presented now in a handsome, well-acted version, this Merchant of Venice is well worth seeing and even arguing about. For this two-hour-plus film, the text underwent significant cuts, but it still builds nicely to the pivotal scene of the case set before the Duke of Venice, wherein Shylock demands his “pound of flesh” as bond from Antonio (Jeremy irons) who has taken on the debt of his young friend Bassanio (Joseph Fiennes). That scene, played and choreographed intelligently, delivers real impact, derived in equal parts from a real physical threat shown to Antonio, from Shylock’s aggrieved, dogged cries for “justice,” and from the cool arguments for mercy from Portia (Lynn Collins), masquerading as the young judge Balthasar. The passion of this scene is enough to make its final judgment a searing one. The principal interest for many filmgoers for this Merchant might be to see one of New York’s favorite paisani, Pacino, assaying the Jew. For those who know the actor mainly as a movie star in contemporary roles, the performance may be a surprise--but it should not be.
