The Twelfth Night
From the director Trever Nunn comes an awesome film called The Twelfth Night. Although the only character that I recognized was Imogene Stubbs who played Viola, a women who disguises herself as a boy named Cesario. Some of the other actors and actress' were Helena Bonham Carter as Olivia, Nigel Hawthorne as Malvolio, Steve Mackintosh as Sebastian, Toby Stevens as Duke Orsino, and a few others who helped make this film a great success. This film was taped in a place called Cornwall, England, which had magnificent scenery.
The movie starts out with Viola and Sebastian, who are a set of twins that are traveling on a ship from Messalina to Illyria. When the ship becomes wrecked, they find themselves on different parts of Illyria not knowing if the other had survived. Viola ends up entering into the service of Duke Orsino. At this point she is perceived to be a guy that goes by the name of Cesario.
