I really like the way it telescopes in and out of reality.
I‘d seen part of it a long time ago; but then when I began watching, we stayed in the Globe for thirty minutes, and I began to doubt my memory of moving out into a landscape that looked like an illuminated manuscript.
Nearly gave up on it, but I went back after a while, and was rewarded by getting to see the changes to the costumes and hair – it’s beautifully done, the costumes are so stylized and brightly-coloured right from the beginning and they keep to the same scheme, so it takes a while to notice the changes in the styles of the sleeves and that the breeches and hose have become just hose, the smaller hats have turned into chaperons etc. Henry’s haircut is a little harder to miss. Was trying to figure out if there was a commensurate change in the acting style, but I think it varies among the cast.
