Twelfth Night (1996)
8/10
A romantic comedy about cross-dressing and mistaken identity
8 August 1998
This is a graceful, charming, gorgeous-looking version in fairy-tale Edwardian dress, with lots of lovely indoor and outdoor shots. Imogen Stubbs is attractive and feisty as Viola/Cesario, Ben Kingsley delivers a complex and intriguing performance as the fool Feste, and Helena Bonham -Carter is a warm, humorous and devastatingly beautiful Olivia. The supporting cast is funny and lively, the schticks all work, and the ornamental garden deserves star billing.
