520 _aShakespeare in Love, the film directed by John Madden in 1999 on a joint contribution by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard, works as an invitation to the funny funeral of the structural theories about the death of the author who is here not only resurrected but also the hero of his own fiction. This superb recreation of the life of the London playhouses at the end of the 16th century, with its ruthless business transactions and fierce rivalries where money, sex and jealousy are given pride of place, is a transparent metaphor of contemporary Hollywood. It is also a story of love and death, half way between a western and an American comedy, highlighted by a hilarious and clever script. Isn’t this simultaneously pleasant and thought-provoking film opening the way to what might be called an art of teaching by teasing?
