A genuinely cinematic screen adaptation of Shakespeare's play brimming over with superb marginal visual details, this HAMLET has an exciting epic sweep. Smoktunovsky plays the melancholy Dane as a man of positive action in a drama that unfolds between shots of lowering rocks and turbulent
seas. Due to the lively cinematic imagination of director Kosintzev, this is one of the most visually striking interpretations of the oft-filmed play.
