Film technique used by Pacino to accentuate Shakespeare’s loss of relevance in the modern context (opinion of the everyday man)

“approach [Richard III] from a different angle’

Pacino’s post-Freudian interpretation of Richard’s evil

intercuts still images of Richard with Pacino’s performance of the play while Kimball explains “Shakespeare has exaggerated Richard’s deformity [to]…expose the corruption of his mind”,

How does Pacino show the power of performance in Looking for Richard

Tracking shot from the sky down to the cathedral. The scene then cuts to a modern apartment block covered with graffiti and a basketball court

Scenes of the Battle and Richard yelling ‘give me a horse!’ is intercut with flashbacks of Richard being cursed cross cut with rehearsals. “Is there a murderer here” is asked by Richard but responded with a “no” from Pacino (method acting).
