frequently compared with the 1944 film of the play directed by
and starring Laurence Olivier. The visual style of Branagh’s
film is grittier and more realist than that of Olivier’s. For
example, his film avoids Olivier’s use of stylized sets, and,
where Olivier staged the Battle of Agincourt on a sunlit field,
Branagh’s takes place amid rain-drenched mud and gore. Henry V
received near-universal critical acclaim for Branagh’s Oscar-
nominated performance and direction, for the accessibility of
its Shakespearean language and particularly for its music.
