tongue So varied in discourse. But . . . surely concentration is preferable to variety? Why should the one be "preferable" to the other and why should there be any perception of mutual exclusivity here? (and the words are no mine in any case). That said, my reference was to a poetic reference to Shakespeare the poet rather than to the Bard himself...

Due to unprecedented demand from around the world, everyone reading ' The Third' is cordially invited to Cannes. Atmosphere is everything and Cannes feels more oxygenated this year. Everyone is walking around with a bounce to their step. And it’s not the glossy makeover of the Grand Palais theatres, nor the new uniforms for the security guards (midnight blue suits for the men, cerulean blue dresses with white bib fronts and a Mondrian-like black trim for the women), nor the constant stiff breeze coming off the sea that’s responsible. I feel like whispering it, but shall leave it to Nick! BFI - Cannes 2016: midway roundupIf you cannot make it in person, how about Romeo and Juliet instead? Zeffirelli brings Shakespeare’s doomed lovers home, shooting their tragic tale against the stunning Renaissance architecture of Italy. Dubbed by Roger Ebert as ‘the most exciting film of Shakespeare ever made,’ Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet brings the play to life by foregrounding emotion above all. Its visual exuberance, with every frame populated by the lavish colours and textures of Renaissance Italy, earned Oscars® for cinematography and costume design, while the vibrant performances by the two relatively unknown young leads are complemented by Nina Rota’s delicate score. I also commend Our Little Sister to you all! Three sisters take in a younger sibling when their father dies. Here is the Japanese trailer: YouTube - Umimachi Diary - Official Teaser Trailer

It is a matter for regret is it not that Mr. "Tim" Robey - one's typical British brainless pleb - has not yet even studied the rules of simple English grammar and of the use of apostrophes in particular. His hyphen is illegitimate as well.

I fear that it is I, rather than Tim Robey, who is one's typical British brainless pleb, as I did a cut and paste job in my previous post. To be honest, Sydney, Cannes is not really my scene! As for Romeo and Juliet, well, the ‘Original’ Romeo and Juliet props [have been] found at Curtain Theatre site in Shoreditch, and probably the most interesting thing is the bird caller. Plays like Romeo and Juliet have several references to birdsong so it could well have been used as a theatrical prop to create special effects. The play is currently on at The Garrick, and it will be broadcast to cinemas worldwide, a theatrical alternative to Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 Romeo and Juliet.

No kc, it is definitely not you (how could it be), but some one at the B.F.I. - either he or at least some one using his name. (I can't copy the link from your earlier post, but it says "Our Little Sister".) He "read classics at University College, Oxford" so I suppose that explains it.

His hyphen is illegitimate as well. Coming as it does from the leading international authority on redundant hyphens, that's irony if you like!
