Drama
TV Movie
3h 0m
The Royal Shakespeare Company's award-winning production of Shakespeare's great play. Director Gregory Doran's modern-dress production was hailed by the critics as thrilling, fast-moving and, in parts, very funny. Hamlet must decide whether to avenge his father's murder at the hands of his uncle Claudius, who has married his brother's wife - Hamlet's mother, Gertrude. This visually sumptuous screen version was filmed on location with all of the original stage cast. (BBC iPlayer)

Not only the best Hamlet adaptation I've seen, but of all straight Shakespeare on film, I think. The life everyone brings to each character is exactly what is missing from the attempts by Olivier, Welles, and others.

Really good, especially because of Tennant, who plays an awesome Hamlet. Patrick Stewart is also awesome. Was my first introduction to Hamlet, and I liked it a lot.
