He accosts passing New Yorkjts, consults people like Sir John Gielgud, Kenneth Brannagh and Derek Jacobi, then films a numbjt of key scenes. One result is that you leave the cinema almost desperate to see Al Pacino's vision of the entire play. It's not often a film is able to communicate intellectual and emotional passion and make you want to share it.
