University Film Series: RICHARD III, hosted by Robert O'Brien, English, Feb. 24

University Film Series
Tuesday, February 24
7:30pm, Ayres 106
$3 donation appreciated
898-4642

Richard III (1955, U.K.) 160 min. Starring and produced and directed by Laurence Olivier. Introduced by Robert O’Brien, Humanities Center Board and English. Part of the Humanities Center’s “Regarding Beauty” theme.

Laurence Olivier’s production shot in brilliant Technicolor was something of an ironic landmark: it was the first time that a motion picture premiered simultaneously in the theater and on television, the latter transforming its gorgeously vibrant palette into black and white for the vast majority of home viewers. It is believed this film was the most widely seen Shakespeare production up until that point, garnering more viewers in its television broadcast than all other stagings combined.

The film was a staggering success for Olivier. Full of highly theatrical yet cinematic flourishes (vertiginous angles, stunning deep-focus photography, and subtle deployment of ghostly optical effects), Richard III was Olivier’s ultimate big-screen Shakespeare adaptation, even more viscerally thrilling than his Best Picture Academy Award winner, Hamlet (1948). Olivier’s performance as the diabolical tyrant hacking, slashing, and decapitating his way to the throne of England was his most thrilling to date, a dazzling mixture of menace and mordancy. With Ralph Richardson, John Gielgud, and Claire Bloom.
