The vibe is very much that of a personal reflection on Shakespeare, which makes it feel quite distinct. The atmosphere is heavy with nostalgia and the weight of the words, almost palpable. It’s like you're right there with him, feeling every pause and inflection. The pacing can be slow, but it’s deliberate—making you hang on every word. Proietti’s performance is just something else; he has this way of drawing you into his thoughts, almost like a conversation.
