This must the worst move I've ever seen! I thought that by the fact that it said BBC on the cover, that it had to have some kind of quality or at least be ok. This is ridiculous! some excuse it must get since it was made in 1980 but still. To actually dress up the air and water sprites in thong and cover them with baby oil and glitter is not the best way to take a dramatic play of Shakespeare seriously. The one actor I could actually watch without getting attacks of laughter was the drunken servant! And the scenography looked like it had been brought in from a school play. Everything look as if it were made of papier-maché! well maybe I do ought to recommend it after all, not if you want to see a good Shakespearian play but if you would like to get hysterical laughter attacks from oiled men in thongs crawling over each other...erh...wait a minute...was this a PG-13 movie? I think not....

wow. now this is amazing casting, everybody is just perfect for their role! you laugh through out the entire film, so did I anyway. Ricci is wonderful as a very very mean and sarcastic wednesday. and the lighting on Anjelica Houston! that her eyes are always soft spotlighted with square of light! it´s a wonderful film and I must have seen it 5 times but it just keeps getting better! see it!
