30 Things We Learned from Kenneth Branagh s Dead Again Commentary Another terrible in-joke coming up I m afraid, but I couldn t resist it.
Paramount Pictures where we sit and listen to filmmakers talk about their work, then share the most interesting parts. In this edition, Rob Hunter revisits Kenneth Branagh’s Hollywood debut, Dead Again!
Kenneth Branagh‘s shift from indie Shakespeare champion to populist film director has seen its ups and downs, but it started with one of the filmmaker’s most entertaining movies.
Dead Again (1991) is a mystery/thriller unafraid to go big at times, and the throughline from beginning to end is fun, energetic, and stylish. The film has finally come to Blu-ray in Australia and it’s well worth the import for fans. One of the extras is a commentary track by Branagh recorded back in 2000, so we gave it a listen to celebrate the film’s long overdue move into HD media.
