A Haunting in Venice Movie Reviews
A good adaptation of a tricky book.
Poirot, now retired, and living in exile, is convinced by his friend Ariadne Oliver, to look into the honesty and integrity of a medium, who’s set to visit bereaved mother Rowena Drake.
If you’re going into this one hoping for authenticity, you may be a little disappointed, I recently read the book, and aside from a few names and events, it is only very loosely based on the book.
Authenticity to one side, I really did enjoy this movie, talk about an interesting choice, you can understand why Death on The Nile and Orient Express were chosen, but Halloween Party doesn’t exactly lend itself well to an adaptation, but overall it works very well, plenty of plus points.
The main winner, the visuals, with Venice they were never going to fail I guess, it looks sensational, but the camera angles and focuses are really nice, very atmospheric and suitably sinister, a shame a few scenes couldn’t have been just a tad brighter. The masks, robes and costumes looked so good, they really did give it a Halloween vibe.
I’d say this is Brannagh’s most accomplished turn as Poirot so far, the toned down moustache has definitely made a difference, he feels more like Poirot.
Well acted all round, Kelly Reilly is no stranger to Agatha Christie, she’s excellent as Rowena, and as for the young man that played Leopold, he was great.
My one gripe, Ariadne, I’m not knocking Tina Fey, she did a good job, but when you read the books, I just don’t see her as an American glamour puss, I wonder if we’ll see her again.
I’m awarding an extra point for the fact that Branagh chose Halloween Party, and didn’t opt for Evil under The Sun or Appointment with Death, but I wouldn’t be surprised if one of those was number four.
It worked well, 8/10.
Best of the three
A Haunting in Venice is the best of Kenneth Branagh’s trilogy of Poirot adventures. This one being a smaller scale whodunit with a supernatural edge fixes any remaining issues whilst still being an engaging mystery with a satisfying answer to whodunit.
Kenneth Branagh is still endlessly entertaining as Hercule Poirot, the humour is toned down here due to the darker story and yet again he’s grown as a character by the end. Each one has tested something different, first it was his morality then his humanity and here it’s his sanity that is pushed to breaking point.
The cast is still undeniably star studded but still smaller than the predecessor which means no one goes unnoticed. Highlights include Tina Fey who makes for a great double act with Branagh’s Poirot and Michelle Yeoh, given her best role in a Western film in ages (excluding EEAAO of course).
Mostly being confined to one smaller, interior heavy location, Branagh’s direction is even better that what’s come before. His trademark canted angles have never been more at home and even though the film isn’t massively scary, Branagh is still able to craft some effectively uncomfortable moments.
Thanks to the location this franchise is finally free of the distracting CG that’s been its biggest flaw. Being majority practical just makes the whole thing infinitely more immersive and means the stylish visual composition on display isn’t having to make up for shoddy effects.
SUPER FUN!
Started with some beautiful shots of Venice and instantly I was captured by how beautifully shot this film is. This was a really good Poirot. It’s appropriate for the Halloween season and it achieves that without silliness or gore.
Synopsis: “A Haunting in Venice” is set in eerie, post-World War II Venice on All Hallows’ Eve and is a terrifying mystery featuring the return of the celebrated sleuth, Hercule Poirot. Now retired and living in self-imposed exile in the world’s most glamorous city, Poirot reluctantly attends a séance at a decaying, haunted palazzo. When one of the guests is murdered, the detective is thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets.
