It follows the text very closely, only missing lines here and there. The director, Michael Radford, believed that Shylock was Shakespeare's first tragic hero, who reaches a catastrophe due to his own flaws: thus the film does not show Shylock purely as a villain, but partly also as a victim.

Despite the praise it received, its performance at the box office left much to be desired. Its worldwide theatrical gross was about $18.7 million (its production budget was $30 million).[1] Michael Radford was born February 24, 1946 in New Delhi, India to a British father and Austrian mother. ...
