At least Shakespeare can be impenetrable to sum, so a bit of additional help is welcome. It just felt self indulgent from Branagh. Nunn’s best intervention was in Othello. That handkerchief, if it was so important how come Desdemona forgot it ? Nunn had a bit of business to explain that which was one of the greatest theatrical moments I’ve ever seen, genuinely breathtaking. I often wonder about that. Can you share @jan what he did?

Two thirds of the way through it.
Dreadful.
I’m biased because I love the 1978 version but Jesus Christ this is turgid to say the least.
I hear the comments about Russel Brand and I agree but Dawn French cannot act for toffee either. Embarrassingly bad! And they never changed that “Dawn Hair” was it in her contract or something?
Total yawn fest. Please do not let Ken loose on any more Agatha’s.

Oh I’m quite sure he’s eyeing up ‘Evil Under The Sun’ just to complete his trio of pointless remakes. Perhaps he’s going to drag up as Miss Marple next and ruin them?

A Haunting in Venice which is an adaptation of Hallowe'en Party. At least it's not one that has been adapted for film before. On the other hand it looks like this time he's filmed most of it in near-darkness. I wonder why he's so keen on playing Poirot, a role he's entirely unsuited to ?

Just to completely side step this, Bristol Hippodrome are teasing ‘A Poirot’ as a star of their Peter Pan this Christmas!
