Dearest Enemy
Adapted from Shakespeare's Henry IV pt 1 and set in an imagined militaristic society, this film sees Carmen Grant and Jonelle Gunderson cast as King Henry IV and Prince Hal, respectively. Director/Producer Alden Adair steps in as Harry Percy aka “Hotspur.” The smooth, clean black lines of the titular royal family’s costumes serve to show a difference in stature and class from the rough, olive green fatigues of the revolutionary “Hotspur”, and suggest a militarism that is at once recognizable, yet unfamiliar.
