In Peter Hall’s film A Midsummer Night’s Dream, fairies, nobles, and artisans intertwine on an enchanted night in the woods of Athens. Amidst magic, misunderstandings, and love potions, chaos reigns as lovers chase and confuse each other. The adaptation, faithful to Shakespeare, enhances the dreamlike atmosphere of the text with intense performances and theatrical visions.
At the twenty-third minute, we see Judi Dench topless and covered in green paint. She plays Titania and is talking to a man on the bank of a river. He is also painted green. At the fiftieth minute, the actress is in a forest interacting with a man with a donkey’s head. She is still topless, with dry leaves covering her nipples. At the eighty-fifth minute, Judi runs across a meadow at dawn, holding hands with the man painted green.
