Hamlet 2 Disk Special Edition DVD

Kenneth Branagh Hamlet. Brand new. Never played. Rated PG-13 Starring (in alphabetical order) Kenneth Branagh Julie Christie Billy Crystal Gerard Depardieu Charlton Heston Derek Jacobi Jack Lemmon Rufus Sewell Robin Williams Kate Winslet "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 greatest 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 cast. The excitement of the Bard's words and an adventurous filmmaking style lift the story from its often shadowy ambience to fully lit pageantry and rage.
