the production of the Branagh version took place in the ill-fated Branagh/Thompson marriage. I'm wondering if some of the distance I sensed between the characters on screen was due to a growing distance in the actors' personal life.
I was reading along with what you had written and wondering exactly the same thing! One does wonder!
For example, shortly before that he played Henry V thoughtfully, but not without passion, for example. So I wouldn't even call it truly low key.
