If you loved Macbeth, try Chimes at Midnight

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Orson Welles, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Macbeth, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Chimes at Midnight is

Orson Welles directs and stars in this Shakespeare adaptation that’s not exactly Hamlet. Prince Hal enjoys shirking royal duties to run around with the louche John Falstaff. Eventually he has to grow up and fight some rebels, though. It’s not quite a history lesson.
