suegn Review of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark

The BBC Television Shakespeare: Hamlet, Prince of Denmark (1980) Season 2, Episode 6

The best of the Hamlets

[10/10 · 7 January 2000]

I have seen all the film interpretations of Hamlet, from Sir Lawrence Olivier to Mel Gibson (gasp). Derek Jacobi captures the true essence of the character, from the beginning to the brutal climax. Superb acting all around. This one should not be missed.
