Irrepressibly joyful.
That sums up “Cinderella” — the new one just out in theaters.
The movie caught me by surprise. It really moved me and led to some deep realizations. And why shouldn’t it? It’s a classic fairy tale invented long before our modern world’s nauseating shallowness, and it’s directed by a man (Kenneth Branagh) who is in love with the writings of William Shakespeare.
And this new film has Shakespeare all over it — thanks to Mr. Branagh.
I have a theory about WHY this movie is so very timely — and why that irrepressibly joyful Cinderella is now a major role model — but you’ll have to read my full review of the film to get it:
