I agree Kingsley is a spell-binding Feste. His Feste appears to be full of humanity, of melancholy about the transience of love and life, of a sad sympathy for the other characters' struggles to find their way through a maze of passion and love. At the same time, Kingsley's Feste is inscrutable; one always suspects him to be in the know about the various secrets of Shakespeare's play, most notably Viola's identity. A wonderful performance that, under Trevor Nunn's direction, makes Feste into the play's central character. It's amazing how much Kingsley achieved with his in this film rather low-key acting.
