Overview

"As You Like It" (随心所欲) is a timeless classic based on Shakespeare’s beloved romantic comedy, brought to life by an exceptional cast featuring Laurence Olivier and Elizabeth Bergner. Set in the enchanting Arden Forest, this story of love, disguise, and intrigue captures the essence of Shakespeare’s wit and charm.

The narrative begins with Duke Senior enjoying a peaceful performance in his courtyard before his treacherous brother, Federico, stages a coup, forcing the Duke into exile. Meanwhile, Orlando, a young man deprived of his inheritance by his elder brother Olivier, escapes into the forest. Rosalind, the Duke’s daughter, and Celia, Federico’s daughter, also join the group in disguise—Rosalind as the young man Ganymede, and Celia as his sister Lena. Along with the court jester Alf, they embark on a journey filled with romance, humor, and twists.

This cinematic adaptation, directed by Paul Kinner, brings Shakespeare’s vision to life with nuanced performances and a captivating visual style.
