Requirements for credit: written final test.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
It is the aim of this lecture course to provide a survey of the major styles of Shakespearean adaptations (re-workings, transformations etc.) for the big screen. Thus, we will look at, and compare, the work of famous directors and their styles (Laurence Olivier, Orson Welles, Peter Brook, Franco Zeffirelli, Kenneth Branagh, Baz Luhrmann etc.) -- all the way from 'Silent Shakespeare'; to such beauties as 'She's the Man' (variation on 'Twelfth Night'), 'Ten Things I Hate about You' ('Taming of the Shrew') and 'Romeo and Juliet vs. the Living Dead'.
Examination topics
Lecture course; classroom discourse will be supplemented by visual aids (ppt, excerpts from feature films, video material).
Reading list
Students would do well to study the plays which provide the basis for these intermedial comparisons (in any edition).
Additional material will be provided on an e-learning platform. Therefore, students are asked to familiarise themselves in advance with the Fronter platform; for introduction and self-guided tour, please see https://www.univie.ac.at/ZID/elearning-infos-studierende/

From the early days of cinema, Shakespeare's plays have constituted an interesting playground for film-makers. The 1990s, in particular, witnessed a strong revival of Shakespeare adaptations for the big screen. In fact, we find ourselves in a hitherto unparalleled phase of creative engagements with Shakespeare not only in the cinema, but in all fields of popular culture.
