Gielgud plays a celebrated actor on an empty, blackened theatre stage reliving the extremes of a night of tribulation and regret recalling his deepest fears and finding salvation in returning to the acting he so adores. Branagh is well established and talented enough to understand keeping the movement still and the camera on Gielgud as he finds the emotions he needs in the words of great Shakespearean moments. Despite the problems in the technical transfer, a brilliant combination of theatre and film. Thank you Jon.
