Sinopsis: Tras una vida disoluta, en 14103 Enrique toma conciencia de sus responsabilidades al acceder al trono de Inglaterra, reivindicando las posesiones francesas perdidas durante los reinados de Juan Sin Tierra y Eduardo III: los ducados de Aquitania, Guyena, Gascuña y Normandía, que significaban la mayor parte del reino de Francia. Para ello reúne un ejército de 30.000 hombres, cruza el Canal de la Manha y pone sitio a Harfleur, donde sufre graves pérdidas y se ve obligado a retirarse Caen. En el camino, es interceptado por las tropas franceses, viéndose obligado a presentar batalla en Agincourt (25 de octubre de 1415), donde obtiene una gran victoria.
Comentario: Espléndida adaptación del drama de William Shakespeare que combina la gran tradición teatral británica con su no menos característica afición por las grandes producciones histórico-cinematográficas. La película arranca en una representación de la obra en el Teatro Globe de Londres en 1606 para abandonar después el escenario y adquirir un tono más realista. Destaca el peculiar uso del color, los decorados y el vestuario, que nos trasladan a las recreaciones pictóricas del primer renacimiento. El marcado tono patriótico del film (por otra parte, ya presente en el drama de Shakespeare) hay que enmarcarlo en el contexto de la S.G.M., aunque su calificación como película de propaganda bélica no desmerece en absoluto sus valores cinematográficos.
In the inspired Olivier concept, Shakespeare's play begins as a performance in the Globe Theatre, shifting in broad cinematic terms to an epic narrative of Henry V, who had developed from a dissolute youth to a purposeful monarch. Proving his ability as a soldier and skillful leader, he unites the dissident factions in the English army and goes on to crush the French, against enormous odds, at Agincourt. Arranging a treaty with the French court, he woos Princess Katharine to whom he is formally betrothed as part of the peace agreement (IMDb).
AMG SYNOPSIS: Laurence Olivier's adaptation of Henry V is one of the finest Shakespeare films ever made, full of rousing action, beautiful colors and passionate performances. Henry V is the story of the newly crowned king of England who fights the French for possession of Normandy. Olivier's direction is inventive, beginning the film as if it were a performance at the Globe Theatre, and having it slowly expand so the final battle scenes take place in realistic settings. Released in 1944 during the height of World War II, Henry V didn't receive an American release until 1946, upon which Olivier won a special Academy Award for "his outstanding achievement as actor, producer and director in bringing Henry V to the screen." -- Stephen Thomas Erlewine.
AMG REVIEW: Laurence Olivier's Henry V confounded almost every assumption about bringing Shakespeare's work to the screen. In contrast to previous Shakespeare adaptations, it was fresh and lively--even challenging and daring--in its presentation and structure; it had fun with its subject, while other versions had been reverent and respectful; and it delighted audiences, scholars, and critics alike, becoming the first screen adaptation of a Shakespeare play to receive mostly enthusiastic reviews and turn a profit. Olivier made his movie in the middle of World War II, convincing the British government of the morale-boosting potential and propaganda uses of a good adaptation of the original play, about an English invasion of France in the 15th century; he then took off for the neutral wide-open spaces of Ireland with the best cast he could assemble from actors too old to be in uniform, a handful of actors borrowed from the armed services, highly sought-after Technicolor cameras, and a script that kept intact the core of Shakespeare's play. The movie earned him a special Academy Award. Equally important in broader historical terms, Henry V paved the way for all other Shakespeare films, from Olivier's versions of Hamlet, Richard III, and Othello through to Kenneth Branagh's more contemporary adaptations. -- Bruce Eder
