Much Ado About Nothing (2012) (original) (raw)

Stunning new vision of Shakespeare's classic comedy. When Leonato, the Governor of Messina, is visited by his friend Don Pedro, he is accompanied by two of his officers: Benedick and Claudio. Claudio falls for Leonato's daughter Hero, while Benedick verbally spars with Beatrice, the governor's niece. A series of comic and tragic events help keep the two couples from truly finding happiness�but then again, perhaps love may prevail in the end!
