Review of Much Ado About Nothing (1993) by Randy H — 10 May 2008
Branagh's best Shakespere film. His direction varies from artsy and stylized to standard and straight-forward, depending on the needs of each scene. The comedy varies from heavy-handed to subtle depending on the scene and actor.
The drama is pitch perfect and never heavier than is necessary. The diction is clear but retains the poetry of the text. All the actors are suited perfectly for their roles. I could recommend this to anyone who likes period drama or romantic comedy.
Whether they like Shakespeare or not.
