Falstaff (1987): cast, story & where to watch
1987 · Film
Released in 1987, Falstaff is a notable film directed by André Flédérick.
What it’s about. Based, in part, on Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor, Falstaff is Verdi's last work for the stage - and only his second comic opera. And yet the humour in this multilayered masterpiece is distinctly wry, for all the main characters exhibit an array of human weaknesses that are implacably exposed by Verdi and his librettist Arrigo Boito.
