As You Like It
Romance...or something like it.
Directed by Kenneth Branagh
Produced by Shakespeare Film Company, HBO Films
A witty, warmly romantic adaptation of Shakespeare's pastoral comedy, transposed to 19th-century Japan with theatrical flair and playful charm.
Witty, playful and utterly magical, the story is a compelling romantic adventure in which Rosalind and Orlando's celebrated courtship is played out against a backdrop of political rivalry, banishment and exile in the Forest of Arden - set in 19th-century Japan.
