Al Pacino conceived, directed, and starred in this comedy/documentary of Shakespeare on the street, that is, his and his fellow actors’ enthusiastic, outrageous attempts to “find” Shakespeare and make him accessible in NYC. Irreverent in tone yet fully capturing the character of the king and his tragedy, Pacino’s very personal trek is spiced by spirited debates with his pals and insightful comments by the finest of the bard’s interpreters today. Thus is this hybrid film a series of lessons in disguise, taught by a highly individual expert who knows the truth whereof he speaks.
