Considers three well-known Shakespeare adaptations: Derek Jarman’s Tempest (1979), Gus Van Sant’s My Own Private Idaho (1991), and Richard Loncraine’s Richard III (1995), as well as two lesser-known films: Tom Gustafson’s Were the World Mine (2008) and Allen Brown’s Private Romeo (2011), but concludes that these adaptations fall short of fulfilling all of aspects of queer Shakespeare film.
