Review of Henry V

Henry V (1989)
10/10
Among the greatest films ever made
10 July 2003
From The thrilling prologue and challenge to the audiences' imagination delivered by Derek Jacoby to the final epilogue, this flawless and timeless presentation makes one remember why one loves the cinema. The fierce exhortations at Harfleur and Agincourt made chills go up my spine to the top of my skull in a riot of electricity. Brannagh,Dench and Holm, indeed all the cast are superb. This even surpassed for me the great Olivier's version of this play. A war film as fine as any ever made, it looks deep into the human soul with a masterful touch. 'Henry V' belongs near the top of any list of great movies, 10/10.
