Annotation:
	Contends that surprisingly few films can be considered both queer and Shakespearean, in that few films adapted from Shakespeare plays feature queer characters and meaningfully engage with queer issues. 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.
