66 Hamlet

Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, returns home to find his father murdered and his mother remarrying the murderer, his uncle. Meanwhile, war is brewing.

"Tis now the very witching time of night, when church yards yawn and hell itself breathes out. "

Kenneth Branagh's version of Hamlet is excellent, all four hours. Mel Gibsons and Ethan Hawks are horrid. This version kept me engaged from start to finish. The story has been told horrible and has been told well in the past even different interpretations can be found (strange brew) I think I like this one for the acting and the set design. The location and the lighting. The lighting is wonderful. The camera does not pull off any Baz Lurhman MTV shots it is just a fine, fine, fine wine of a movie.
