Michael Radford ?I looked at every other Shakespeare movie and found very few of them actually really engaging. And my attempt with this was to make a film that audiences who didn?t necessarily know anything about Shakespeare would become involved in.

Elsa & Fred

Elsa, a vivacious retiree living in New Orleans, meets her new neighbor, straight-laced widower Fred, when she smashes into the bumper of his daughter’s new car. Fred’s stern daughter, Lydia, doesn’t condone Elsa’s free-spirited approach to old age. Soon, however, Elsa’s charming eccentricities begin to rub off on Fred, and the pair start to sneak around like young teenagers behind Lydia’s back.
