Kenneth Branagh got his start with the Royal Shakespeare Company and has returned many times to the Bard. He invests many scenes from Henry V (1989) with cinematic sweep and rhythmic visual editing, but the emphasis seldom strays far from great actors engaging the text. For his role in Henry V, Branagh received Oscar nominations for Best Actor and Director. The cast is packed with familiar faces, including Judi Dench, Emma Thompson and Derek Jacobi.
