its good and what i expect from welles shakespear adaptation but i also think its the lesser of the three i've seen.
containing allot of the strengths but i wasn't fully invested in every character tbh.
but the sets and locations are probably the best of the three, easily. they are beautiful.

Henry IV usurps the English throne, sets in motion the factious War of the Roses and now faces a rebellion led by Northumberland scion Hotspur. Henry's heir, Prince Hal, is a ne'er-do-well carouser who drinks and causes mischief with his low-class friends, especially his rotund father figure, John Falstaff. To redeem his title, Hal may have to choose between allegiance to his real father and loyalty to his friend.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A richly layered examination of youth's carefree abandon colliding with the weight of duty and ambition, rendered in Welles' characteristic expressionistic style. The film luxuriates in the raucous fellowship between a prince and his beloved friend while the machinery of history and succession grinds inexorably forward.
