"Twelfth Night" is a very well produced film. The cinematography is excellent, featuring nice settings and brilliant colors and shading. The music is likewise excellent and appropriate. The acting is great as well. So why am I giving this solid film only a 6/10 rating? Because I did have trouble hearing all of the dialogue and making out what they were saying. And unfortunately the DVD did not include closed captions which would have helped greatly. Therefore I give it a 6/10. I do have mixed feelings towards Shakespeare; on the one hand I do like some of his writing, but on the other hand it can be difficult to hear and understand when it's spoken quickly or softly. I would recommend this film though if you like Shakespeare; it's as fine a film adaptation of one of his plays as I've seen.
