Much Ado About Nothing
1993
***
Director: Kenneth Branagh
Cast: Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington, Keanu Reeves

This adaptation of Shakespeare's romantic comedy is light and enjoyable, even if Kenneth Branagh has squeezed in too many distracting big star cameos. The story is set and filmed in In Italy, and the picture has a beautiful golden glow.
