    New Film adaptation - MISANTHROPOS - www.misanthropos.net - Timon of Athens - Shakespeare on Film!
    Adapted by Maximianno Cobra, from Shakespeare's "Timon of Athens", the film exposes the timeless challenge of social hypocrisy, disillusion and annihilation against the poetics of friendship, love, and beauty.

      Thank you for posting this. Dame Maggie was such a force of nature in this. GB Shaw was a wiz at writing biting dialogue, and she delivers each syllable deliciously. RIP

    Who knew that only a month later we are here to mourn Dame Maggie Smith?.
    In these recorded performances she lives on for us. May they bring joy to many generations to come and may they be in awe of her life's work as we are now.

    She has been a marvellous actress for all her acting life. Just a look said loads. Her quips in Downton Abbey were priceless. There is no one to replace her today. A sad loss to film, theatre and tv. Thankfully we have her DVD’s etc to keep her performances alive for all to watch. RIP

    No one did fast paced yet precise badinage quite like Maggie Smith. As others have put it she was singularly unparalleled. There's nobody quite like her. She was never a 'type' and no one has yet come along who you'd say was 'a Maggie Smith' type, which is a rare commodity.

    wow. i'm almost ashamed to admit that i only(or primarily) know her from Downton Abbey. forgive my philistinism(or shanty irish mick from detroit-ism), but I'm only now seeing that she was never less than wonderful and amazing as an actress, from the very beginning. So wonderful to see her in her prime. The talent is mesmerizing....🙏♥️🎭

    An extraordinarily courageous performance. Others have done it on stage and screen, among them Kate Hepburn and Sophia Loren. Neither dared to show us the absolute awfulness of the heroine, a perfect Shavian example of the what he believed too much or too little money could do the human soul-no better example than this father-adoring, thoroughly selfish, spoiled rotten brat daughter of a rich man who has taught his child to be as cold-hearted as he has been. In the final act, the ice begins to melt, and Maggie transforms without a touch of sentimentality, exactly as GBS intended the role to be played. It is a virtuoso performance, beautifully planned and executed down to every flip of her fur and turn of her head. The fine art of English acting at it’s very best.

    Thanks for putting this up, but to be honest I struggled with it, but then I'm not a huge fan of GBS. Maggie was great, as always. May I say I think you're doing sterling work with your channel. Really looking forward to seeing Rex Harrison in Chekov's Platanov.

    I am barely 4 minutes into this movie and I see BETTY BRODERICK.
    I lived in San Diego when Betty shot her former husband and his 2nd wife as they slept in their Hillcrest bedroom.
    Her excuse for the killings because of HER humiliation as the divorce decree awarded her ' only $9,000 monthly', in 1980's dollars.
    "HOW was I supposed to live on a measly $9,000 for a whole month?" "I couldn't live with the humiliation of being a pauper!"

    A virtuoso performance, but the play is far too verbose, like most of Shaw, and could be usefully cut by a third.
