Much Ado about Nothing (1993)
Country: GB
Technical: col 111m
Director: Kenneth Branagh
Cast: Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington, Robert Sean Leonard, Kate Beckinsale, Keanu Reeves, Michael Keaton
Synopsis:
Friends, lovers and rivals converge on a Tuscan villa to celebrate the wedding of Hero and Claudio, who conspire to make it a double set of nuptials by uniting arch enemies Beatrice and Benedick in love.
Review:
Quite the most fun of all Shakespeare films, and Thompson and Branagh's most successful collaboration on the screen. The Tuscan locations are a sure-fire win with audiences seeking after that 'summer of love' feeling, and the cast, all suitably bronzed and befreckled, communicate the text admirably. Even some questionable acting from the likes of Reeves and Keaton is taken in good part thanks to the pervading spirit of collaboration.
