Well, I can say with a fair amount of certainty that there aren't all that
many German Shakespeare adaptation at all (at least few available on vhs
or DVD)
In fact the ONLY few I know are
Kebab Connection (Germany, 2005)
Director, Anno Saul. Cast: Denis Moschitto, Nora Tschirner, Guven
Kirac. A young Turkish hip-hopper dreams of making the first German
kung-fu film, and he hones his craft by making an extremely successful
commercial for his uncle's kebab stand. When his second commercial is
a flop, his German girfriend tells him she is pregnant, and his
parents kick him out of the house, he gives in to the temptations of
the rival Greek restaurant owner across the street and agrees to make
a commercial for his uncle's worst enemy. Based loosely on
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. 96 min
The Merry Wives of Windsor (Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor) (East
Germany, 1950) Directed by Georg Wildhagen.
Othello (Germany, 1922)
Director Dimitri Buchowetzki. Cast: Emil Jannings, Werner Krauss, Lya de
Putti.
Hamlet: ein rachedrama (Germany, 1921)
Director Svend Gade.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
