A Beautiful Remake

Rating: 10/10 (4 December 2017)

I am surprised by the negative reviews. Branagh's rendering of this classic is lovely. It is well acted, the music is well chosen, the cinematography is rich and sweeping, the colors and mood are exactly what one would expect for this piece. Most importantly, he did not attempt to "modernize" Christie's work and clutter it with our current cultural issues. THAT is refreshing. He kept a classic a classic - Ms. Christie would be pleased. Branagh himself performed a wonderful Poirot. I loved his humor - impeccable! And the complaints about his mustache? Somewhat irrelevant to me. I say kudos to all involved and well done!
