The Soliloquy (2012)
Superlative!
You need to be familiar with Shakespeare's Macbeth to fully appreciate this short, but if you are, you can't help but be impressed by how well it's been translated into a modern setting. Note that it's not a simple retelling, but an interesting mix of original dialog with contemporary characters, and with great detail paid to the visuals,the audio effects, and the soundtrack. Despite it being only a little over eight minutes long, it's so rich you can watch it over and over again and see more subtleties each time you watch it. This is real entertainment, not merely amusement. I suspect many who watch this version of The Soliloquy who aren't already familiar with Macbeth will be compelled to learn the whole story. Overall, I have no complaints. It's simply a delight to watch!
