KATE - THE TAMING OF THE SHREW (*)

book

A flamboyant Italian animated updating of Shakespeare’s classic tale. Petrucchio is a young man ruined by gambling, who, to get out of debt has the great idea of marrying a rich woman - Kate, the daughter of a spaghetti industrialist from Padua. But he finds himself up against the proud and independent character of a modern woman, and when the two meet it’s a clash of fireworks. This vivid film is made entirely of paper, using sophisticated and meticulous stop-motion techniques.
