{"product_id":"chimes-at-midnight-blu-ray","title":"Chimes At Midnight Blu-Ray","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe crowning achievement of Orson Welles’s extraordinary cinematic career, \u003cem\u003eChimes at Midnight\u003c\/em\u003e was the culmination of the filmmaker’s lifelong obsession with Shakespeare’s ultimate rapscallion, Sir John Falstaff. Usually a comic supporting figure, Falstaff—the loyal, often soused friend of King Henry IV’s wayward son Prince Hal—here becomes the focus: a robustly funny and ultimately tragic screen antihero played by Welles with looming, lumbering grace. Integrating elements from both \u003cem\u003eHenry IV\u003c\/em\u003e plays as well as \u003cem\u003eRichard II, Henry V,\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Merry Wives of Windsor,\u003c\/em\u003e Welles created a gritty and unorthodox Shakespeare film as a lament, he said, “for the death of Merrie England.” Poetic, philosophical, and visceral—with a kinetic centerpiece battle sequence that rivals anything in the director’s body of work—\u003cem\u003eChimes at Midnight\u003c\/em\u003e is as monumental as the figure at its heart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cinema Cellar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41779905790037,"sku":"CC2663BD","price":32.39,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3032\/6613\/files\/830_bd-1_gi3sr0si66yuxzej.jpg?v=1767992478","url":"https:\/\/cinemacellar.com\/products\/chimes-at-midnight-blu-ray","provider":"Cinema Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
