All Is True (2018)

£0.00


Country: GB
Technical: col/2.39:1 101m
Director: Kenneth Branagh
Cast: Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench, Ian McKellen

Synopsis:

After seeing his Globe theatre go up in flames, William Shakespeare retires to mourn his long departed son, and a splinter in the relationship with his unmarried daughter becomes a plank.

Review:

Taking its cue from its subject’s gradual rallentando, Branagh and Elton’s film strings out its slender storyline with a series of fanciful conversations based upon the barest of facts. That these dramatic vignettes are set in a richly woven tapestry of cinematography (off-centre compositions, chiaroscuro lighting, ravishing mise-en-scène) and shot through with adoration for the Bard and his art, makes for an exquisite, if sparsely laid, table of food for the soul.
