Kenneth Branagh's spellbinding adaptation of Shakespear's Henry V is a coming-of-age film, following a young playboy prince as he is forced to grow up quickly and assume the responsibility of leadership. The battle scenes are spellbinding from the siege of Harfleur and Henry's stirring exhortation of his small army to go 'once more unto the breach', to the dramatic victory at Agincourt. In addition to his own extraordinary performance as King Henry, Branagh elicit brilliant work from a stellar cast, including Derek Jacobi as the chorus, Paul Scofield as the French King, Ian Holm as Fluellen, Robbie Coltrane as Falstaff and Judi Dench as Mistress Quickly. Also featuring Emma Thompson and Christian Bale, this Oscar winner is not to be missed.
