Pericles By Shakespeare On The Road

Shakespeare's timeless story gets a stunning post-modern interpretation in this new feature film by Roberto Quagliano. Based on the Shakespearean tragedy Pericles, Prince of Tyre, this film version of the Bard's tale maintains the original language of his text, but sets the story in an undefinable future in a landscape crisscrossed by highways and patrolled by helicopters. This green landscape is both lush and desolate, a surreal Garden of Eden, and is home for a little girl, Marina, and her father, as she dreams of being told the famous story of Pericles. But where does her dream end and reality begin?
