	Kenneth Branagh - A Midwinter's Tale
		Kenneth Branagh was a celebrated actor when, in 1988, he took the international film community by surprise with his debut as a film director.
		Not surprisingly, Branagh was immediately invited to Hollywood to direct his next film, "Dead Again," in which he co-starred with Emma Thompson and which he pulled off the feat of playing dual starring roles as a gumshoe detective in 1990s Los Angeles and as a European composer in the 1940s.
		Branagh's most recent appearances on stage were in the Renaissance production of "Coriolanus" at the Chichester Festival Theatre in 1992 and as Hamlet in a sell-out production for the RSC in London and Stratford in 1992/3 that broke boxoffice records.

	SPLICEDwire \| Kenneth Branagh interview (2000)
		Three minutes into interviewing Kenneth Branagh about his musical adaptation of Shakespeare's "Love's Labour's Lost," his recent cartoon co-star Kevin Kline burst into the director's Ritz Carlton hotel room for a quick round of back-patting hugs and gentle ribbing.
		Dressed in fl jeans, a fl Armani pull-over and brown-checked blazer, Branagh's sandy hair is gelled into a spiky, youthful, decidedly anti-establishment style that seems like an extension of his revolution-from-within approach to modern Shakespeare.
		Branagh didn't chose his players for their song-and-dance ability, however.

	Hamlet (1996) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This is the first filmed version of 'Hamlet' to use the full text of Shakespeare's play, but Branagh didn't do it just because "it was there." His intention, I believe, was to make the play accessible and understandable to the general viewer without dumbing it down, so to speak.
		Branagh's casting once again is inspired and the acting is likewise.
		Branagh has always been one of the most interesting actor/writer/directors, if not always the best, since he made his big splash with 'Henry V.' One quibble I had with him was what I saw as a tendency to ham it up at times.

		Branagh's ambitious Hamlet is also one of the most accessible and entertaining, yet without the faintest hint of any dumbing down or abbreviation.
		Branagh himself is a wonderful Hamlet, perhaps a bit of a ham at times (as I think was Shakespeare's intent), a prince who is the friend of itinerant players.
		Branagh, more than any other Hamlet, makes us understand the distracted, anguished and tortured prince, and guides us to not only an appreciation of his actions, wild and crazy as they sometimes are, but to an identification and an understanding of why (the eternal query) Hamlet is so long in assuming the name of action.

		Kenneth Branagh: While I knew that I liked musicals, I must say I tend to like the ones that are superficially about frivolous subjects, that tend to make their more serious points lightly -- rather than the more overtly serious and earnest ones which, for me, tend to veer towards opera or melodrama or whatever.
		Kenneth Branagh: oh no. [laughs] talent means acting.

	DAILY TELEGIRAFFE: Kenneth Branagh: Gielgud Award 2000
		It was Kenneth Branagh, a famously nice man, a thoroughly decent actor, a gifted director of plays and films, an energetic producer, but not yet quite the blend of Galileo and John Cleese that nearly two hours of adulation seemed to suggest.
		Branagh was the winner because his films of Henry V, Hamlet and Much Ado have, in the programme's words, "revived the sagging fortunes of a 435-year-old has-been and transformed him into today's hottest screenwriter".
		Branagh said in a speech to a glittering collection of stars: "I've had a professional life of such supernatural good fortune but I'm delighted to be here and deeply honoured." An array of actors paid tribute to the 39-year-old actor-dircetor, including Geraldine McEwan, Bob Hoskins, Richard Briers, Ben Elton and Stephen Fry.

		Branagh is as good as his word and turns in a superb performance as the vengeful young Prince.
		The Acting: Branagh is exceptional; a veteran of Shakespearian theatre and film, you would expect no less of him, and he delivers with power, consistency and realism.

		Kenneth Branagh: Star and producer of a slew of good or not-so-good Shakespearean movie productions, including the gorgeous "Much Ado About Nothing." Here he tries his hand at writing and direction rather than acting, and the result is an entertaining tongue-in-cheek comedy.
		The last section of it is a little out of sync with the first part, though, as if Branagh realized that he had to pull the "stage of fools" together if he wanted a happy ending.
		Michael Maloney is fine in the lead role of the director (playing Hamlet himself, of course; the comparisons to Branagh are unmistakable), and the rest of the cast give it their all.
