Join Bobby and Brian on this episode of the Fifty Films podcast as they  kick off their new series, Artist at a Crossroads, by reviewing the  1998 film "Shakespeare in Love." This romantic comedy-drama, which stars  Joseph Fiennes and Gwyneth Paltrow, is one of Brian's all-time favorite  films. It also stirred up controversy when it won the Best Picture  Oscar over "Saving Private Ryan." Our hosts delve into the film's plot,  performances, and production, exploring what made it such a success and  why it generated such a strong reaction from critics and audiences  alike. Tune in to this fascinating discussion as we examine the  intersection of art and commerce, and where "Shakespeare in Love" ranks  on our list of the Top 50 Movies of all time.
