Branagh's Henry V comes to blu-ray!

Kenneth Branagh fans, rejoice! On January 27th Shout! Factory is releasing Branagh's staggering adaptation of Shakespeare's Henry V on blu-ray.

If you've never seen Henry V, get ready - released in 1989, it was Branagh's directorial debut, and heralded the arrival of an actor-director combination to be mentioned in the same breath as Welles.

It's a visually stunning film and lends convincing grit to the horse and steel of its combat scenes. Emma Thompson, Ian Holm, Derek Jacobi and the great Brian Blessed round out the stellar cast. Branagh deliver's the Crispin's Day speech in such a way that you'll be ready to happily leap off the couch and follow him into battle.

Game of Thrones fans will eat this up and come back for seconds. If you haven't seen Henry V, it's up for pre-order on Amazon at a very reasonable price.

Now, soldiers, march away - and how thou pleasest God, dispose the day.
