Writers and directors who forge an unconscious, unintentional connection to Shakespeare's work create \u003ci\u003enon-adaptations\u003c\/i\u003e, cinema that is unexpectedly similar to certain Shakespeare plays while remaining independent as art. These films can illuminate core semantic issues in those plays in ways that direct adaptations cannot. Eric S.
