[quote]"Perhaps the best film based on Shakespeare," according to the critic Georges Sadoul, and an hour and a half less than Branagh's Hamlet! The Russians filmed Shajespeares most famous tragedy to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the playwright's birth. Shot in Cinemascope, the images enriched by the dramatic Shostakovitch score, are sweeping and powerful. Kozintsev's Hamlet moves through striking visual compositions of towering rocks, turbulent seas, massive portcullisies, and endless corridors of stone. What is memorable is the superb visual detail, notably in the apperance of the ghost on the battlements like a titan striding actrss the sea. At the end of a long film career, begun at the early age of 19, Kozintsev write: "I am certain that everyone of us in the course of his whole life shoots a single film of his own...this film is made in your head, but it lives, breathes, somehow prolongs into age, something that began as existence in childhood."

[quote]Considered one of the best film versions of Shakespeare's Hamlet, and by some critics the best, this 1963 Russian masterpiece by director Grigori Kozintsev is a haunting black and white depiction of Hamlet's anguish and his revenge of his father's murder by his politically aspiring uncle.

The visual foreboding and malevolence is masterfully captured in this dark, black and white dramatic film, easily transporting us back to castle life in the Middle Ages. The castle is dark, dank and bare, with evil spies lurking in deep shadows. This is not a royal life of splendor, but a political cesspool of greed, evilness and tenuous power. The intrigue and manipulations of the court life become the forces that destroy the lives of all the royals.

The barren landscape of the country, cold and windy stretching along the oceanside, visually reflects the emptiness of the souls of those in power in Denmark. It is an ominous setting for the calculating intrigue and haunting revenge that must inevitably occur.

This version of Hamlet captures well his inner conflict-his reluctance to execute the revenge of his father's death. The manifestation of this revenge inevitably destroys his life and all of those he once loved. [/quote]
