2/10
Atrocious and Boring
2 June 2011
The only thing remotely interesting is the landscape.

The lighting is appalling, the play is shredded up with important and beautiful lines being cut and useless lines kept while other lines were just changed outright to have more obvious meanings.

The language is spoken tediously and full of pauses and lacks almost any sound of poetry at all which drags and drags.

It seems the focus was so much on the religion of the play it lacked any passion whatsoever.

Utterly unwatchable.

There was a superior version filmed in 1936 and 1996 looks glowing by comparison.
