Hamlet (1964), Grigori Kozintsev

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058126/

***1/2














Unfortunately, I did not care much for how the title character was interpreted, which was, obviously, a major drawback. Overall, I found it not as memorable and inspired as Kozintsev's "King Lear". It still has a lot going for it, though. Like "Lear", it is excellent atmosphere and location-wise. Also, I particulatly liked child-like, ethereal "Ophelia". The scenes of her in mourning really stood out visually.
