Book Reviews of A companion to the Shakespearean films of Kenneth Branagh
Book Review: fascinating and erudite
Summary: 5 Stars
this is an excellent companion book for people who want to watch and watch and watch Kenneth Branagh's films - or even for those who want to give them the once-over and wonder what the fuss is about. Sarah Hatchuel's book very firmly places Branagh in the canon of great actors who have led us to know and understand more about Shakespeare then we did before - at times she may be kinder to him than many have been, but then what is the British media if not a sniping gallery for those brave and glorious flowers who dare bloom above the parapet?My only gripe is that I was left wanting more - Hatchuel focuses on the three films Branagh has directed - Henry V, Hamlet, and Much Ado - and I would've loved some insight on Othello, and Love's Labours Lost - but perhaps this is a mere time constraint which she will rectify in the 2nd edition (hint hint).
If you like Ken, buy this book. If you don't, buy it anyway, read it and then give it to a pal with better taste ;-)
