Cheek by Jowl: The Winter's Tale (2017): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 2017, Cheek by Jowl: The Winter's Tale is a notable film directed by Declan Donnellan.

What it’s about. One of Shakespeare's greatest plays, The Winter's Tale, though written at the same period as The Tempest, smashes all the rules that The Tempest follows. Unity of time, place and action are hurled aside as we range across Europe, from court to country, from high tragedy to low comedy, across a time span of sixteen years. The Winter's Tale tells of a delusional and paranoid king who tears his family apart. But this is the new Shakespeare, after he completed his great tragedies, and the tough struggle for redemption yields flickers of hope. Initial darkness gives way to joy as Time leads the characters to a shattering conclusion...

Who’s in it. Cheek by Jowl: The Winter's Tale stars Natalie Radmall-Quirke as Hermione / Dorcas, Sam Woolf as Florizel and Eleanor McLoughlin as Perdita.

How it landed. With an audience score of 10.0/10, Cheek by Jowl: The Winter's Tale sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
