Summary

No one does William Shakespeare on film better than the multi-talented, world-famous actor and director Kenneth Branagh. Unforgettable are his portrayals of the Bards most enduring and complex characters; unbelievable is the impact his films have had on our contemporary understanding of the Shakespearean canon. This summer his newest Shakespearean adaptation, Love's Labour's Lost, opens across North America.
