A Midsummer Night's Dream (1999 - Dir. Michael Hoffman)

"It shall be called 'Bottom's Dream'...
...for it hath no bottom."

On the eve of the 400th anniversary of the play's registry, this rather star-studded millennial adaptation of William Shakespeare's beloved sex comedy, heartwarming and heady in its screenplay rendition by Writer/Director Michael Hoffman, was unleashed upon unsuspecting moviegoers: "The village of Monte Athena in Italy at the turn of the 19th century. Necklines are high. Parents are rigid. Marriage is seldom a matter of love. The good news: The bustle is in its decline, allowing for the meteoric rise of that newfangled creation, the bicycle."

"Lord, what fools these mortals be..."
