Hamlet review

By Kaileyface

Hamlet

Starring Mel Gibson, Glenn Close, Alan Bates, Paul Scofield

Genres Drama

Run time 129 mins Certificate PG

15th November 2011

Heavily edited to fit within the timeframe but an extremely valid rendition nonetheless. Easy access for contemporary audiences- just as Shakespeare intended. Recommended!
