A Midsummer Night's Dream (1999)

In the enchanting realm of Shakespeare's timeless comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream, love is as fickle as the breeze and as whimsical as the flight of a fairy. The tale begins to twine when Hermia, our heroine, finds herself coveted by two suitors, Demetrius and Lysander. Although her heart beats for Lysander, her father dreams of Demetrius as a son-in-law. Caught in this intricate web of desire is Helena, whose unrequited affection for Demetrius blazes like an untamed fire. As the moon ascends, Hermia and Lysander scheme to escape the city's grasp, only to find themselves followed by a furious Demetrius and the lovesick Helena. Their flight leads them into the mystical embrace of a forest, where the unseen realm of the faeries exists. Here, Oberon and Titania, the regal King and Queen of the faeries, are locked in a feud over a servant boy. The plot unfurls like a mischievous vine when Oberon's chief trickster, Puck, wields a magical flower that ensnares the senses, causing those affected to fall head over heels for the first creature they behold upon awakening. This enchanted bloom sets the stage for a delirious dance of love, confusion, and uproarious comedy. In a parallel thread, a group of humble labourers are industriously preparing a play for the Duke's forthcoming wedding. Among them is one hapless soul who, thanks to Puck's merry meddling, finds himself bearing a donkey's head and becoming the object of the Fairy Queen's ardor. Michelle Pfeiffer enchants as the Fairy Queen, Titania, and Kevin Kline is the unforgettable suitor turned into her donkey-headed lover. Their performances breathe life into the Bard's language, turning this tangled tale of mistaken love into a delightful romp. This rendition of A Midsummer Night's Dream weaves together mirth, magic, and mischief in a captivating dance of love's folly, where the wrong partners are hilariously brought together right, thanks to the bungling work of Puck.

A Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedy movie featuring Rupert Everett.
