Mr Branagh,
As a fan of the Wallander novels, I think you nailed the essence of what makes Kurt attractive to his loyal readers.. In fact, after I saw the BBC broadcasts and was so relieved you had ditched the Hamlet-era wasp-waist physique---I imagined you playing Wallander solving a case in LA !
What do you think ? Like as a Swedish exchange program with the LAPD kind-of-a-plot.....
