Kenneth Branagh costumes [1/?] → Hamlet’s fencing outfit in Hamlet (1996)

“Branagh’s Hamlet is conceived as a soldier. When we first encounter him, he is dressed in a trim black military uniform, in stunning contrast to the white and gold glitter of Claudius and his court. […] Branagh’s Hamlet is distinguished by having taken his cue from Fortinbras’s final pronouncement that he should have a soldier’s funeral, for had he been "put on” he should have proved “most royal.” Branagh’s Hamlet, like his military uniform, is neat, trim, precise. He has a racing mind and a keen wit. He is interested in fencing lessons taking place at the court, and one can believe this Hamlet when he boasts to Horatio that “I shall win at the odds” in the match with Laertes. If he has a dark side, it is his military alter ego: Rufus Sewell’s Fortinbras.“ - Samuel Crowl, Shakespeare at the Cineplex: The Kenneth Branagh Era

Kenneth Branagh photographed in Los Angeles in 1991. Love the shirt.

Tom Hiddleston. I can’t think of anything else to say. That’s it. Tom Hiddleston. Just look at him.
