synopsis
Kenneth Brannagh's version of the Bard's oft-filmed drama is the first to represent the play in its entirety. Running at 240 minutes and magnificently filmed in 70mm (the same type used for Lawrence of Arabia by cinematographer Alex Thomson, who also filmed this one), featuring a distinguished all-star cast and performed in a way accessible to a broad audience, this Hamlet allows audiences the opportunity to go beyond the familiar story of lust, vengeance, betrayal and ruthless ambition, to savor the full-breadth of the play's political complexity and Hamlet's mad genius.
