Shakespeare's "Hamlet" directed by Kenneth Branagh
I like Kenneth Branagh’s two-disk version of “Hamlet” a lot. It is the only way I know of to see the whole of Shakespeare’s most famous play. It runs for well over four hours, where stage versions and other movie versions usually cut bits out to make it around three hours. Not only does Branagh show us the whole play, but he plays the lead character, Hamlet. Branagh is one of the finest living Shakespeare actors and directors. If you want to see Shakespeare’s masterpiece expertly done and in full, this is the one to see.
Also, of course, being on DVD means you can take a break when you want to.
