Much Ado About Nothing (1993)
The romantic comedy movie starring Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson
"The play is one of the greatest romantic comedies ever written.
Comic, lusty and full blooded. In it Shakespeare produces prose and
poetry that make the little hairs rise on the back of the neck." -
Kenneth Branagh
"Much Ado About Nothing' has to be one of my favourite films.
Director/star Kenneth Branagh really accomplished what he set
out to do, bringing the true joys of Shakespeare to a wider public.
This particular play, and movie, has a universal appeal, interweaving
romance, comedy and intrigue. The storyline is still relevant today,
so much so that it's easy to forget that you're watching Shakespeare."

"When Branagh plays Benedick in "Much Ado About Nothing", I
forget that he is speaking Shakespeare. This isn't the stilted
"hammy" renditions that make audiences groan, instead he makes every
phrase sound natural and not out of place in modern conversation." [More ]
