Shakesfilm: Robert Wise’s 1949 *The Set-Up*

ShakesFilm: Pasolini’s *Oedipus Rex*
This film is neither a Shakespeare adaptation nor a Tyrannosaurus Rex. It is, however, a pretty good way to spend two hours. Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Oedipus Rex, MR 301, Sunday at 7:00pm. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061613/
ShakesFilm: Branagh’s *Much Ado About Nothing*

ShakesFilm: Nunn’s *Twelfth Night.*
Trevor Nunn’s 1996 Twelfth Night. Perhaps one of the saddest productions of TN; certainly one of the best. Sunday, 7:00pm, Morgan 301. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117991/
ShakesFilm: Branagh’s *Love’s Labour’s Lost*
Join us on Sunday, January 31st at 7:00pm for Kenneth Branagh’s 2000 Love’s Labour’s Lost. I have a feeling this film is worth seeing if only for Branagh’s mustache. We’re screening the film in Morgan 301, UA campus. Free and open to the public. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0182295/
