What is Much Ado About Nothing / A Midwinter's Tale about?

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, 1993, MGM Repertory, 111 min, Romance/Comedy/Shakespeare, UK, USA. The second of Kenneth Branagh's Shakespeare adaptations is also the most delightfully entertaining, as the director assembles an eclectic and wonderful cast (Michael Keaton, Denzel Washington, Emma Thompson and Branagh) for a spirited sensual romp. Set and shot in a gorgeous villa in Tuscany, the film is a feast for the eyes, and the attention to detail in Shakespeare's language makes it heaven for the ears as well. A MIDWINTER'S TALE, 1995, Warner Bros., 99 min, Comedy/Romance/Shakespeare, UK. Director Kenneth Branagh takes a more unorthodox approach to Shakespeare than usual in this very funny tale (Branagh scripted) about an out-of-work actor who decides to stage HAMLET in an isolated English town with a cast and crew comprised entirely of volunteers.
