Educational and Funny
12 May 2005
Looking for Richard, directed and acted by Al Pacino, has done something I have never seen done before. It takes a viewer on a tour through the development, design and rehearsal of the play 'Richard III'.

Filmmaker Al Pacino combines scenes from Richard III being performed by top actors (Kevin Conway, Kevin Spacey, Alec Baldwin), rehearsals for parts, and on-location filming of where the actual events of Richard III took place. Al Pacino is entertaining, he's funny, and he shows unbelievable talent in making documentaries.

The scenes are fun to watch of the actors performing the actual play in rehearsal. Kevin Spacey is his usual quiet self as the actors argue over how American actors would have a harder time than British ones on performing the play.

The scenes are well filmed with on-site filming. The actors are fun to watch and listen to trying to go from the Movie Screen to the Stage. it would actually be pretty fun to see all of these actors put on the actual play. The movie is educational through the way it shows how much work it takes to pit on and act in a play. I would recommend it to at least any one interested in theater and stage acting.

Looking For Richard. Starring: Al Pacino, Alec Baldwin, Kevin Spacey, Kevin Conway, Penelope Allen, and Harris Yulin.
