I agree Kingsley is a spell-binding Feste. His Feste appears to be full of humanity, of melancholy about the transience of love and life, of a sad sympathy for the other characters' struggles to find their way through a maze of passion and love. At the same time, Kingsley's Feste is inscrutable; one always suspects him to be in the know about the various secrets of Shakespeare's play, most notably Viola's identity. A wonderful performance that, under Trevor Nunn's direction, makes Feste into the play's central character. It's amazing how much Kingsley achieved with his in this film rather low-key acting.

Ha! He was awesome in Sexy Beast, but his best role (IMHO) is as Gandhi. He ~became~ Gandhi, demmit!

I agree with califlipmix (Sat Jan 1 2005 03:11:23)
his role as Meyer Lanski in Bugsy
"Two more swords and I'll be Queen of the Monkey People." Roseanne

I would say, undeniably, "Death and the Maiden." His monologue to Sigourney Weaver at the end of it is one of the finest pieces of acting I've ever seen.

My opinion is that he was the greatest in "Gandhi". It's also his best movie as the main character.

He was robbed of an Oscar by that overrated bastard Sean Penn.
