For his most forgettable adaptation of Shakespeare's work, Branagh transports the Bard's whimsical Forest of Arden to 19th-century Japan. It's an intriguing idea, but one that falls flat: Branagh's Japan is almost entirely populated by non-Japanese actors, which begs the question of why he even bothered to shift the setting. Sure, Bryce Dallas Howa...
One of Shakespeare's earliest comedies, Love's Labour's Lost lacks the precision of later plays like Twelfth Night, As You Like It, and Much Ado—something any production has to come up against. Branagh does an admirable job of tackling a lesser work by making the baffling, yet mostly delightful, choice of turning it into a 1940s-set musical. Inters...
Before Branagh, the best-known Henry V was Laurence Olivier's sunny 1944 film. If Olivier's film is all style, glory, and rah-rah patriotism, Branagh prefers to get down in the mud, showing the horrors and losses of battle as realistically as possible. Branagh stars in his directorial debut as the young king, who invades France and leads his men to...

You want to honor the man and his work without falling prey to putting him on an infallible pedestal. With All Is True, Branagh manages to do mostly all of those things. For anyone who loves the Bard (if you don't, how have you gotten...

Branagh presents the unabridged play for the first time on screen, but even clocking in at a whopping four hours, this Hamlet is remarkably accessible, exploring the Bard's most tragic hero and all his faults...
Much Ado About Nothing is not just the greatest Kenneth Branagh Shakespeare film, it's perhaps the greatest cinematic Shakespeare adaptation ever. It's got a killer cast—from then-real-life couple Branagh and Thompson as sparring lovers Beatrice and Benedick to Denzel Washington as a prince, to Michael Keaton as Shakespeare's most hysterical clown,...
