Cinema Cemetery: Episode 71- Shakespeare In Love (1998)
03/31/22 • 31 min
“It always works out?” “Why?” “I don’t know; it’s a mystery.” A play-within-a-play, or rather a play-beyond-a-play, Shakespeare in Love tells the fictional tale of the writing of another fictional tale as a young, upstart Shakespeare struggles to create a new comedy all while living a real-life romance/tragedy in the real world. With an all-star 1990s cast, and copious Shakespeare references and Easter eggs, Shakespeare in Love combines the forbidden love with a Finnes brother from English Patient with the star-crossed lovers of Titanic, all mixed with a Victorian setting. Largely seen as a surprise in 1998, has Shakespeare proved to be a show for all time? Find out today!

Cinema Cemetery: Episode 72- American Beauty (1999)
“My name is Lester Burnham. This is my neighborhood; this is my street; this is my life. I am 42 years old; in less than a year I will be dead.” These opening lines set the stage for American Beauty, a turn-of-the-20th-century picture about the beauty...and dysfunction...of suburban American life. As Lester awakens to the changes he needs to make to his everyday life, his wife and daughter follow similar journeys, along with his mysterious next-door neighbor. As Lester’s death day looms, the culprits seem to multiply. Part drama, part comedy, and all dysfunctional does American Beauty still deserve to be seen? Find out today.
