HAMLET (1990) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Franco Zeffirelli

Written by - Christopher DeVore, Franco Zeffirelli (based on a play by William Shakespeare)

Starring - Mel Gibson, Glenn Close

"Zeffirelli delves once again in Shakespeare’s work, this time Hamlet. The result is only half satisfactory, somewhat feeling rushed and overwhelming at the same time, with a talented cast that appears a little out of place and the film that sometimes takes things a little too far to the point where it’s not daring anymore, it’s just plain crazy. This version of Hamlet, however, still carries a theatrical appeal, and is vibrant and accessible."
