Directed by John Madden, Shakespeare in Love ended up winning 7 oscars! A film about Shakespeare himself, in the middle of writing a new play, when he mets the love of his life, who inspires and helps him stage a new play at a very crucial time of his career.

A period/romantic film needs a certain charm to work with audiences, and this film is full of it. The drama unfolds at a decent pace and the british sarcasm keeps the proceedings going. There's outstanding chemistry here between the lead pair and somehow the background score and the poetic dialogues make it a magical experience for the viewers. The writers does a fantastic job by bringing in different characters, putting in the different situations involving theater and personal life. The fact that the female protagonist pretends to be a male so that she can act in the play is a masterstroke and takes the love story forward.

Gwaneth Paltrow is outstanding, this is certainly one of the strongest female performances you will come accross and words aren't enough to do justice to her performance. The climax is also very subtle, leaving the vieweres in tears.This is a film you don't want to miss!

Summary: Witness the master writer's love story.
