Aro Favourite Hamlet

 

Russian Federation 1964, 142 minutes
Dir. Grigori Kozintsev
In Russian with English subtitles
Rating: [G]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama, Suspense/Crime, Classics / Shakespeare

 

Aroview: The legendary Russian version of Shakespeare's play, which visually at least, stands as the greatest yet.

Staged amidst the massive battlements of a medieval fortress, and the weight of this imperial monolith are added to the title character's existential and moral burdens. Here Hamlet becomes a hero of positive action, which contrasts sharply with the traditional interpretations.
