Re: Kenneth Branagh, seriously

I want to thank Ellen Edgerton for her intelligent comments on Branagh. As
someone (Tony Williams?) suggested, we are caught in a curious position if
we look at Branagh as the new Boy Wonder Auteur of the Decade. A fuller
accounting of his films (as of Olivier's) must take the different levels
of production and collaboration into account. On a similar note, Welles's
CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT evolved in part from his attempt to do a stage epic of
the Henriad.
