シノプシス
Comedy from Charlie Brooker starring Philomena Cunk, the witless commentator from Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe. Philomena knows absolutely nothing about Shakespeare, but that won't stop her attempting to present a groundbreaking documentary about him. Cunk will leave no stone unturned as she gets to the bottom of the Bard, visiting his birthplace, exploring the Globe, studying priceless artefacts and interviewing literally six different experts, including renowned actor Simon Russell Beale, Educating Yorkshire teacher Matthew Burton and top Shakespearean scholar Professor Stanley Wells. Shorter than Hamlet, funnier than King Lear and easier to spell than Cymbeline, Cunk On Shakespeare is absolutely the last word in Shakespeare documentaries.

Ａ・パチーノの初監督作品。シェイクスピア作品では難解とされる、『リチャード三世』の映像化をめぐるドキュメンタリー。彼は主演の他、製作とナレーション台本も共同で担当している。出演者はみな俳優である自分自身として登場し、映画化のためのディスカッションやリハーサルに加え、実際に扮装、演技までする。これに街頭でのインタヴューやシェイクスピアの生家の探訪、シェイクスピア作品ゆかりの俳優のインタヴューが挿入される。これらは『リチャード三世』のストーリーに沿って展開されるが、前記の模様が様々にモンタージュされ、配役や作品の解釈は言うに及ばず、シェイクスピアやその作品の解釈、それに取り組む様を浮き彫りにしていく。単なるメイキングにとどまらず、演じる様子だけでなく、映像化された画面や、映像化に向けての様々なアプローチを取り入れることにより、親しみのある作品に仕上がっている。劇中インタヴュー出演はＪ・ギールガッド、Ｋ・ブラナー、Ｖ・レッドグレイヴ、Ｄ・ジャコビ、Ｊ・Ｒ・ジョーンズ、Ｋ・クライン。全米監督組合でドキュメンタリー部門の監督賞を受賞。
