But his output in this period, as he seemed determined to stretch and express his talents at a breakneck pace, proved hit and miss, and his promise never quite translated into the sort of career his debut promised even as he continued to go from strength to strength as an actor. His movies in the prolific decade following his gambit included the flop of his capital R Romantic film of Mary Shelleys Frankenstein 1. Loves Labours Lost 2.

Branaghs directorial style, his adoration of oversized gestures and scarce restrained theatrical energy, simply doesnt fit into the current pop cultural paradigm any more than his love for Shakespeare its the antithesis of cool. The attempt to crossbreed Shakespeare with old Hollywood musical idealisation with Loves Labours Lost did, for the six people who saw it including me, help bring all Branaghs works into focus as covert musicals the swooping camerawork, the dialogue delivered in quick, dextrous, recitative like refrains, the actors perpetually propelled about his frame stages in giddy motion.

What other director could find the same traces of bruised humanity and noble instinct in Tom Clancys dullard CIA hero as he finds in a Shakespearean king Murder on the Orient Express is the latest of Branaghs career long efforts to invest a hoary property with a new lustre, and it feels like a homecoming, and a restatement of personal delight in film, within the apparently cosy confines of familiar material. Along with Ten Little Indians, the novel is surely Agatha Christies most famous, distinguished by one of her most cunningly crafted and ingenious plots and a great setting, one that shares in common with Ten Little Indians and her legendary play The Mousetrap the quality of claustrophobic isolation. The plot, as you probably already know sometime in the early 1. Belgian born, UK residing private detective Hercule Poirot Branagh, inevitably departs Jerusalem after performing a swift and nifty piece of deduction that defuses a nascent religious riot. Travelling by boat to Constantinople or Istanbul either way its a Turkish delight on a moonlit night, Poirot encounters the keen and lovely governess Miss Mary Debenham Daisy Ridley and the stoic, upright soldier turned physician Dr Arbuthnot Leslie Odom Jr on the same boat although affecting to be strangers, Poirot notes their peculiar intimacy. Once arriving in the great city, Poirot encounters a friend, the cheerfully dissolute Aynesworth Gerard Horan, nephew of the Orient Expresss owner. When the onerous call of duty summons Poirot back to London, Aynesworth promises to gain him a berth on the very next Express to London, a promise that proves difficult to fulfil as the trains first class compartment proves to be booked solid, a bizarre event in the winter season. Nonetheless Poirot gains a berth, and finds himself thrust in with a motley collective including Mary, Arbuthnot, talkative husband hunter Caroline Hubbard Michelle Pfeiffer, White Russian exile Princess Dragomiroff Judi Dench and her paid companion Hildegarde Schmidt Olivia Colman, hot tempered Count Rudolph Andrenyi Sergei Polunin and his drug addict ballerina wife Countess Elena Lucy Boynton, cheery automobile magnate Biniamino Marquez Manuel Garcia Rulfo, sternly moralistic missionary Pilar Estravados Penlope Cruz, and flinty, racist Austrian academic Gerhard Hardman Willem Dafoe. The greyest of these eminences is snake eyed American art broker Edward Ratchett Johnny Depp, travelling with a manservant, Masterman Derek Jacobi, and business manager, Hector Mac. Queen Josh Gad. Poirots presence is unnoticed by some of the passengers who exist in their own little bubbles of angst, like Pilar and the Andrenyis, but catches the eye of others, including Hubbard, who seems to zero in on Poirot as an eligible bachelor, and Ratchett, who offers Poirot a lucrative stint guarding him from threats, as he keeps receiving threatening letters, and is worried about the possible repercussions of selling some suspect wares to a group of colourful Italian gentlemen. Soon, the train is trapped in the mountains by an avalanche, and after a night of strange occurrences, Ratchett is discovered in his compartment riddled with stab wounds after an apparently frenzied attack, and Poirot finds himself obliged to identify the killer. Soon the problem Poirot uncovers involves less the question of who would have the motive to kill Ratchett than which one of the plentiful potential assassins did not have a very good reason to kill the man, who was actually an infamous gangster named Cassetti. Cassetti was known to Poirot through underworld whisperings that he staged the kidnap for ransom and subsequent murder of the child of a famous aviator, John Armstrong, and caused the ensuing destruction of many lives connected to the crime and the benighted Armstrong family.

Lumets film mediated old fashioned storytelling values with an invested level of New Wave Hollywood grit, and opened with an inimitable prologue, depicting in monochrome visuals staging events then reported in newspaper headlines set to piercingly eerie music, depicting the central crime that drives many of the events in the subsequent story, the kidnapping of the Armstrong child and the events evil consequences. Branagh wisely never tries to outdo this scene. More recently, the story had also been adapted as a telemovie showcasing David Suchets beloved characterisation in the role of Christies sublimely methodical, ever dapper detective, although the later entries featuring Suchet lacked the lush, easy style of the late 8. TV series in which he pioneered the role. So what need, if any, for another take Branagh and screenwriter Michael Green answer the question by taking an approach similar to the one Branagh took with Henry V and Victor Frankenstein, trying to see if theres another layer to the drama under what everyone knows about them.
