He is endeed a great " regiseur " everything is beautiful in the screen..but.. his plots are not always good( too simple or disappointed ) and he is not good at all directing actors.. with the exception of TAYLOR and BURTON, who were magnificent playing SHAKESPEARE.. I´m sure they directed themselves. Fanny was great in CALLAS but not the film. I think he may be one of the best staging operas but not directing films.

I´ve decided to continue because many people or Franco himself may say ..What ? Bad plots ? Shakespeare´s plays bad ? Of course I didn´t mean that. But I´ve felt disappointed with MUSSOLUNI, BROTHER SUN and CALLAS.
ROMEO AND JULIET and THE TAMING are master pieces but in HAMLET , CLOSE was adorable but GIBSON was absolutely inappropiate. In MUSSOLINI he had great women but the result was not satisfactory.

he's a fascist, an ally of Berlusconi, and a national shame.

Zeffirelli is an exceptionally sensitive and talented man and the Italians do not see further than the end of their noses - too busy are they, wallowing in self-pity and negativism, at their failure to achieve little or any political or social acclaim in today's global arena. You should be less short-sighted and less narrow-minded and more proud of your nation's achievements - such as giving birth to one Zeffirelli.
