Kenneth Branagh seems to like encircling his characters with the camera: it happens in "Hamlet" and "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein" - quite possibly "Much Ado About Nothing" and probably others as well (it would fit the deliriously overheated atmosphere of "Dead Again"). Such a shot also occurs in "Absolute Beginners", which makes me wonder if it might be something that you'd see particularly in musicals as some sort of signifier of exuberance? Probably in "Russian Ark", but as I didn't watch it with this particularly in mind, here I am spiraling off into the realms of speculation. J on 19/2/04 5:46 pm, John Adams.
