Hamlet (1996) 2 DVDs

DVD Film - The cast: Kenneth Branagh. "Hamlet has the kind of power, energy and excitement that a film can fully harness," says award-winning actor and director Kenneth Branagh. And the first ever adaptation to bring the complete version of Shakespeare's masterpiece to the screen, this power shines through in every scene. The immortal tale of murder, corruption and revenge is transported to the opulent 19th century, with the magnificent Blenheim Palace playing the role of Elsinore and much of the action reflected in the mirrors of its gilded halls. The electrifying pace of the film is enhanced by the excellent performances. The excitement of the poet's words and the bold directorial style lift the story out of the shadows of the venerable classic and elevate it to the limelight of a great and exciting spectacle.
