As You Like It
on DVD (2006)
Starring: Takuya Shimada, Brian Blessed, Richard Clifford
Director: Kenneth Branagh
Certificate: 
Very strong acting but another missed opportunity. The Japanese setting was unessassary and just odd at times. Instead of focusing on a core plotline the film constantly jumped out to random soliloquies. These might be an important part of the play when performed on stage but didn't work for me on the screen. This should have been stripped down to it's simplest form and left to let the acting tallent shine.
Worth watching for the cast but this is no 'Much Ado'.
