Branagh's film uses the text of Shakespeare's play as the basis of the screenplay and so the terms of the banishment are the same as in the play. The Duke's line is "Within these ten days if that thou be'st found so near our public court as twenty miles thou die'st for it." Those are the exact words Brian Blessed uses in the film. So the answer is twenty miles from the French town (in the play) or the Japanese town (in the film) where the Duke rules.
It's all set in Japan, either in a town or the nearby forest. Rosalind delivers the epilogue from the film set.
