	Franco Zeffirelli
		Franco Zeffirelli was born in Florence and studied architecture.
		Zeffirelli differs from other directors of our time in the way that he has always thought out, projected and carried out productions on an extensive scale and always in the ambit of great performances: this often brought him closer to the world of lyrical performances, particularly Italian opera.
		Zeffirelli commenced with La Traviata by Verdi, staged on various occasions, though the edition which remained the most famous (with the adventure re-lived in flash back) is the one with Maria Callas at the Dallas Opera House in the 1957-1958 season.

		Zeffirelli's debate is a little stilted, but depicts the Sanhedrin as containing men of conscience who were deeply divided about how they should treat Christ.
		At one point one of Zeffirelli's elders exclaims, "We are a people who love ideas and argument, then reject our prophets." Zeffirelli's Caiaphas is a doddering old man who dreads rebellion and is obsessed with fear that if Jesus really is the Messiah, then he will replace Caiaphas as leader.
		Zeffirelli is called "the previous big-name-director attempt at the Jesus story".

	Zeffirelli's Hamlet 4 2 day
		Franco Zeffirelli’s 1990 filmic translation of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet is a dramatic telling of the classic story which is as well acted as it is entertaining.
		Zeffirelli does this for two reasons: first to continue Hamlet’s image of the brooding loner, one who refuses to attend court, for to attend with malice could be a gratifying acknowledgment of Claudius.
		Zeffirelli does this in order to show that Hamlet is not devoid of love for Ophelia, and in fact is concerned for her well-being.

	Film and DVD Reviews: Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet - 2003 Palm Springs International Film Festival
		Franco Zeffirelli's second major film begins with a scene of violence between the Capulets and Montagues that even now seems more appropriate footage for Caligula than Shakespeare's timeless love story.
		Nonetheless, from that point on the story is unfolded with Zeffirelli's customary style and metaphoric imagery, spectacularly assisted by the unerring eye of cinematographer Pasqualino De Santis.
		But Zeffirelli isn't quite done, for in the closing credits town young men—one from either house turn their despair into embrace.

	Badolatry - Mel Gibson's Hamlet (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Zeffirelli has thereby resisted the temptation to Wagnerian excess that I, for one, would have loathed.
		But that was the world Shakespeare lived in, the world his text hands us, and many directors, circumscribed by their own broad-minded relativism (not to mention, devotion to Foucault-laced lit crit) cannot seem to stage it any longer without dragging in boatloads of irony.
		Zeffirelli, however, by all accounts (like his star, Gibson), still adheres to many of those traditional concepts which form the subtext of this Elizabethan revenge play, and the anti-anti-hero he gives us looks a good deal more, I suspect, like the tragic hero of former ages than has been seen for some time.

		Zeffirelli was born February 12, 1923 in Florence, the son of Ottorino Corsi, a wealthy businessman, and his mistress Adelaide Garosi, a fashion designer.
		Zeffirelli's later films have received widely mixed reviews and are generally regarded as uneven in quality.
		Yet this seeming contradiction is, perhaps, characteristic of Zeffirelli's career and work, for which he has long been regarded with extreme degrees of reverence and revilement, in almost equal measure.

		Franco Zeffirelli originally produced this kind of a Romeo and Juliet on stage in '62, casting Judy Dench (yes, the "M" from the newer Bond movies...she was a young hottie 40 years ago), and using the same kind of pseudo real Renaissance setting.
		Franco Zeffirelli is gay, and his intepretation of Romeo is clearly meant to be homosexual or at least bisexual.
		Franco Zeffirelli's production was revolutionary for 1967, in using teenage actors for the tragic Romeo and Juliet, and his choices were perfection: the young Olivia Hussey is a heartbreakingly beautiful, vulnerable and courageous Juliet, while Leonard Whiting is a sensitive, poetically handsome and appealing Romeo.

		The structure is a pun on the Church Militant and Triumphant; this is elegantly articulated by multiplying boxing into horse racing, with magisterial touches in the acting and the cinematography, which stretches Fred J.

		A rollicking feast for the eye, ear, and funny bone, Franco Zeffirelli's "The Taming of The Shrew" is a tour de force for Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.
		Franco Zeffirelli's 1967 production, starring Richard Burton as the chauvanistic and gold-digging Petrucchio, and Elizabeth Taylor as the waspish, unstable Katharina, is the opposite - it's a sort of 'Shakespeare Lite' version of the Bard's oroginal play, and for the subject matter, this works better.
		Zeffirelli's direction, as usual, is top-notch; in particular, the opening scenes where Katharina is raging behind closed doors is excellent.
