Title: “Richard the Third” and “Looking for Richard”: from Stage to Docudrama
Authors: Dongu, Maria Grazia
Issue Date: 2019
Document Type: Article
Abstract: This article focuses on the rich intertextual network pervading Looking for Richard (1996), a docudrama starring Al Pacino as actor-director and King Richard III as the protagonist. The film reflects upon the deeper meaning carried by Shakespeare’s verse in our contemporary, globalised world. The intermingling of interviews, actors’ discussions, rehearsals, and performance throws into relief the metatextual value of the cinematic medium.
L’articolo ha per tema l’intensa trama intertestuale che pervade Looking for Richard (1996), un docudrama con Al Pacino come attore-regista e il re Riccardo III come protagonista. Il film è una meditazione sul profondo significato che hanno i versi di Shakespeare nel mondo globale contemporaneo. L’intrecciarsi di interviste, discussioni degli attori, prove e rappresentazione esalta il valore metatestuale del mezzo cinematografico.
