Shakespeare

• Hamlet directed by Michael Almereyda (2000)

  [7/10]

  "I don't think that this version with its modern setting brings too many young people to an appreciation of Shakespeare, but for those of us who have liked Shakespeare all along, it gives us some new ways of looking at a classic."

• Henry V directed by Kenneth Branagh (1989)

  [8/10]

  "Branagh plays Henry V with and easy elegance, and he delivers the king's motivational speeches with marvelous interpretation and dynamics."

  Average score: 7.50
