Hamlet (1990)

Synopsis:

Showcasing a distinguished all-star cast - Oscar-winner Judi Dench, French thespian Gerard Depardieu and Richard Attenborough among many others - and performed in a way accessible to a broad audience, Branagh's Hamlet is set in impressionistic 19th century Europe. It's a world of glamour, power and corruption. When Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, returns home after his studies, he finds his father murdered and his uncle married to his mother. A ghost (looking very much like his dead father) manifests himself and tells Hamlet to avenge his father's death. Savor this play for its political complexity and Hamlet's mad genius.
