"Shakespeare, Cinema and Desire is sophisticated, thought-provoking, and intellectually stimulating. Simon Ryle's relation of the Shakespearean text to later films is outstanding; he provides many compelling, unique readings of Shakespeare's language in specific adaptations and in the history of cinema itself. The book is an important addition to existing Shakespeare and film criticism that will appeal to Shakespearean scholars, teachers, and students." Lisa Starks-Estes, University of South Florida, USA
