Is Dame Judi Dench her real name? Or is she a knight?
Dame is a title. Her name is Judi Dench, or probably Judith.
One might expect the long-standing television franchise (next year marks Masterpiece's 40th anniversary) to have similarly degenerated. But what has now been rebranded "Masterpiece Classic" remains remarkably strong, especially when it stays close to its unfashionable, anglophile fixations -- period dress, proper accents, class snobbery -- churning its way through the great, plot-dense novels of the 19th century.
Next up, Jane Austen's "Emma." It's been done before on TV and the big screen, including two film versions in 1996, a modern teeny-bopper update called "Clueless" in 1995 and a BBC miniseries in 1972 (along with several earlier efforts). But "Emma," one of Austen's last novels and one of her most challenging, offers endless fodder. If you're tired of Emma -- the rich, witty and narcissistic meddler in other people's affairs -- you're tired of the world.
The current version, starring Romola Garai in the title role, didn't fare very well when first seen in the United Kingdom in the fall. The Daily Mail diagnosed "a case of Emma fatigue," and the Independent asked (ominously), "Has the costume drama had its day?" One critic found, among other faults, the following distractions: flowers blooming at the wrong time of year, a misquote of Milton and an inappropriate "south-London" accent coming from the over-wide mouth cavity of Garai. Her gait was also problematic.
And now this, I’m beginning to think a bare-bones approach is the way to do it. With actors the caliber of Ian McKellen and Judi Dench, lavish sets and props would be an afterthought, even a distraction. Instead, they control the screen with their fierce, combustible passion.
Through his actors, Nunn preys on the audience’s imagination. Instead of spoon-feeding us a steady, predictable diet of horror show gore and carnage, Nunn emphasizes the imagistic poetry of Shakespeare’s language. The language, channeled through such superior interpreters as McKellen and Dench, takes on an expressionistic life of its own. “Full of scorpions is my mind,” Macbeth confesses to his wife. The horror is internal, not external, and Shakespeare’s words have a terrifying immediacy that only the imagination can do justice. I felt a chill down my spine as Macbeth says, “Light thickens, and the crow makes wing to the rooky wood. Good things of day begin to droop and drowse, whilst night’s black agents to their prey do rouse.” The barren set, then, is a mindscape, a blank canvas on which the audience paints its own fears.
McKellen brings a forceful vitality to a difficult role. This is a warrior, after all, and McKellen walks a razor’s edge with his performance. This warrior is tightly strung. His watery eyes bulge and face contorts with each newfangled creation of his “heat-oppressed brain.” Macbeth is doomed to be “bound up in saucy fears” by his own overwrought imagination. Guilt for him is a visionary construct, an “air drawn dagger” and the bleeding ghost of his former friend, Banquo. McKellen gives a dynamic performance, full of movement and nervous mannerisms. When Macbeth is consumed by a paralyzing nihilism in the fifth act, the sudden stillness of McKellen’s body language is striking. He delivers the “Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow” soliloquy with a scary sense of calm resignation.
