| | Description: | Chimes at Midnight (Criterion Collection)The crowning achievement of Orson Welles's extraordinary film career, Chimes at Midnight was the culmination of the filmmaker's lifelong obsession with Shakespeare's ultimate rapscallion, Sir John Falstaff. Usually a comic supporting figure, Falstaff-the loyal, often soused friend of King Henry IV's wayward son Prince Hal-here becomes the focus: a robustly funny and ultimately tragic screen antihero played by Welles with looming, lumbering grace. Integrating elements from both Henry IV plays as well as Richard II, Henry V, and The Merry Wives of Windsor, Welles created a gritty and unorthodox Shakespeare film, one that he intended, he said, as a lament... for the death of Merrie England." Poetic, philosophical, and visceral-with a kinetic centerpiece battle sequence that rivals anything else in the director's body of work-Chimes at Midnight is as monumental as the figure at it's heart. AKA: "Falstaff." 116 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; audio commentary; featurettes; vintage interview; theatrical trailer.

AKA: "Falstaff." 116 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; audio commentary; featurettes; vintage interview; theatrical trailer."Chimes At Midnight," available on Blu-Ray from the esteemed Criterion Collection, is a cinematic masterpiece directed by and starring Orson Welles. This 1965 film is a unique adaptation that weaves together several of Shakespeare?s plays to focus on the character Sir John Falstaff, brilliantly portrayed by Welles himself. The movie stands out for its innovative cinematography, powerful performances, and evocative score. The Criterion Collection edition features a meticulously restored transfer with rich bonus materials including interviews and behind-the-scenes insights.
Orson Welles was one of cinema's most influential figures, known for classics like "Citizen Kane" and "Touch of Evil." His groundbreaking approach to storytelling has left an indelible mark on film history. Jeanne Moreau brings depth as Doll Tearsheet; she was celebrated for her roles in French New Wave films such as "Jules et Jim." John Gielgud delivers gravitas as King Henry IV?he remains one of Britain?s greatest stage actors with acclaimed work in both theater and film ("Arthur," "Gandhi"). Margaret Rutherford (Mistress Quickly) charmed audiences worldwide in comedies like "The Importance of Being Earnest."
Criterion Collection is renowned for curating significant classic and contemporary films with exceptional attention to quality restoration, scholarly supplements, and elegant packaging?making each release essential for cinephiles. | | | Actors: |
