Henry V
1989
Kenneth Branagh's energetic adaptation of Shakespeare's history play follows the young King Henry V as he leads his vastly outnumbered English army through the mud and blood of the French campaign, culminating in the famous victory at Agincourt. Branagh's passionate, gritty take stripped away the pageantry in favour of the human cost of war.
