Summary: Hamlet has the kind of power, energy and excitement that movies can truly exploit", award winning actor/director Kenneth Branagh says. In this first ever full-text film of William Shakespeare's great work, the power surges through every scene. The timeless tale of murder, corruption and revenge is reset in an opulent 19th century world, using sprawling Blenheim palace as Elsinore and staging much of the action in shimmering mirrored and gold filled interiors. the energy is electrifying, due to a luminous cat. the excitement of the Bard's words and an adventuring film making style lift the story from its often shadowy ambiance to fully-lit pageantry and rage.
