Plus, I have my own view on how the characters look and the actors don't match. These are not the correct faces!  There are several actors whom I cannot detach so to speak from their own personality. When I see Brannagh it doesn't matter who he plays, it is him dressed up but still Brannagh. He is not credible. I know he's good and all Shakespeare and all that but it is him no matter what the role.
One step behind, I think it is my favourite! |
I far prefer the subtitled Swedish Wallander to the English Brannagh version; we get both on the BBC.
