Premise

edit

The plot of the film is largely unchanged from that ofShakespeare'soriginal play.Differences include the modern-day setting, switching Conrade's gender, eliminating several minor roles and consolidating others into Leonato's aide, and expanding Ursula's role by giving her a number of Margaret's scenes. In addition, the film adds background to the relationship between Beatrice and Benedick by showing, in an opening scene, a morning after they apparently slept together, and later, flashbacks that confirm this. Benedick is beardless in both, so this is presumably some time before the plot of the movie takes place.

Production

edit

Principal photographystarted mid-October 2011,[9]and took place atJoss Whedon's residence inSanta Monica, California.[10]On the choice of location, he toldStudio 360:"First of all, my wife built that house. And I knew from the moment I set foot in it that I would want to film something there. Because it's all in one place, that place informs the mood and the feeling and the look of the picture so much, and I was really already comfortable with that".[11]Whedon and his wife, Kai Cole, produced the film through theirstudioBellwether Pictures.[12][13]It was filmed entirely in ablack-and-whitepalette over a period of 12 days, in conjunction withcinematographerJay Hunter.[14]Whedon shot it while on a contractual vacation from the post-production ofThe Avengers.[15]The cast and crew were informed to keep the project a secret until production was finished.[4]Theywrappedtheir last day of filming on October 23, 2011.[16]

Whedon explained his initial interest in the project, saying:

I fixated on this notion that our ideas of romantic love are created for us by the society around us, and then escape from that is grown-up love, is marriage, is mature love, to escape the ideals of love that we're supposed to follow.[4]

He elaborated on that sentiment, and said "It's a very cynically romantic text about love, and how we behave, and how we're expected to behave. It's a party, but there's something darker there as well". Inspired by the exposing nature offilm,Whedon decided to infuse a recurring motif ofsexuality,"...because it's a visual medium. You can say it or you can show it.... There's an element to it, of debauchery, that was fun for a time but then it was just sort of dark".[17]Whedon's idea to adapt the play for the screen originated from having "Shakespeare readings" at his house with several of his friends, years prior.[18]

Whedon and hisdirector of photographyJay Hunter took advantage ofnatural lightingin order to make it feel "very found", noting: "Our lighting package rose in the east and set in the west".[19]Usingmirrors,glassandwindowsto shoot through, he explains: "[It's] something I'd like to do all the time, but particularly in a movie that's all about lies, and manipulation and misunderstandings. The more you can warp the frame a little bit, the more it speaks towards what's going on".[19]The film was shot hand-held,digitallywith multiple cameras, often with aRED Epic,and used aLensbabyComposer with Double Glasslens on aCanon 7Dto differentiate certain scenes.[20]

The website's critical consensus reads: "Lighthearted to a fault,Much Ado About Nothing's giddy energy and intimate charm make for an entertaining romantic comedy—and a Shakespearean adaptation that's hard to resist ".[61]OnMetacritic,the film has achieved an average score of 78/100 based on 37 reviews, signifying "generally favorable reviews".[62]

Within the first 10 minutes ofJoss Whedon's "Much Ado About Nothing,"I found myself smiling with excitement, while also holding my breath in nervous anxiety. Would the film be able to sustain its confident manic tone, maintain its humor and smarts, its depth of characterization and innovative use of text and landscape? Would the magic hold? The magic holds. It holds from beginning to end.

—Sheila O'Malley, writing for theChicago Sun-Times.[63]

John DeFore ofThe Hollywood Reportergave a positive review of the film, remarking: "...more than most adaptations, this is a film true to Shakespeare's practice of employing all means at hand to keep the crowd entertained".[64]Tom Clift of Moviedex complimented the director's use of subtle visual humor.[65]The Guardianscored the film four out of five stars, calling it "...the first great contemporary Shakespeare sinceBaz Luhrmann'sRomeo and Juliet".[66]Christopher Schobert ofIndieWirewrote: "The result is an utter joy, Whedon's most emotionally resonant and fully realized feature film to date. And I say that as one who is not a devoted member of the Whedon army".[67]Sheila O'Malley of theChicago Sun-Timesgave the film four out of four stars, noting that "Much Ado About Nothingis one of the best films of the year ".[63]

BBC Radio 5 Live'sMark Kermodesaid of the film: "One of the things that it manages to do is, firstly, make all the dialogue and the language completely comprehensible". He proceeded to note that "it makes sense to its audience. I think that the comedy is funny, and I don't say that lightly.... And finally, I think in terms of the way in which it deals with that gender politics issue is really well done.... It's a very hard trick to pull off, and he did it in two weeks!"[68]Helen O'Hara ofEmpirebelieved that, while keeping a sense ofnoirto compensate theromance,it was "in balancing these competing elements and characters that this version really shines".[69]The Village Voice's Chris Packham said that the director "approaches the story with a tremendous amount of joy".[70]

Associated Pressreviewer Jake Coyle wrote that "moviegoers will likely have few better options this summer for a good romantic comedy".[71]A. O. ScottofThe New York Timescalled it "the liveliest and most purely delightful movie I have seen so far this year", concluding to laud the film for its "sly, robust eroticism".[72]Andrew O'Hehir ofSalonwrote: "[It] possesses that Whedon-esque nerdy energy, fizzing with humor, eroticism, booze and more than a hint of danger".[73]Kenneth Turanof theLos Angeles Timesthought the film was "good-humored and unpretentious in equal measure", going on to praise its visual performance.[74]IGNgave it a 7.5 out of ten, noting that "everyone should see this movie".[75]

Joe MorgensternofThe Wall Street Journalgave high encomium toKranz's performance, expressing that the actor "portrays Claudio with affecting passion", and says of the film: "The joyous spirit of the play has been preserved in this modest, homegrown production".[76]Rolling StonejournalistPeter Traverswrote that the film was "an irresistible blend of mirth and malice".[77]Justin Chang ofVarietysensed that the black-and-white evoked a "timeless romanticism", which was additionally enhanced by the "lightly applied score".[78]Chris Nashawaty ofEntertainment Weekly—despite commending it for being "both daring and delightfully daffy" —admits, "The film isn't as fast and funny as it could be".[79]
