About this event
Directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh with Emma Thompson and Denzel Washington. Filmed in Tuscany, this is a pictorially ravishing and emotionally stirring account of the way the wittily warring Beatrice and Benedick are tricked into confronting their love for each other. About the season: People often say that if Shakespeare were alive today he would be writing for the movies. What is startling is how often, since the beginnings of cinema, his plays have been adapted for the screen. Following a highly successful season devoted to the work of Harold Pinter, Chiswick Cinema now focuses on the infinite variety of filmed Shakespeare and will accompany four major screenings with talks, supplementary showings and celebrity interviews.
