Movie Description
Acclaimed director Franco Zeffirelli teamed with Mel Gibson for this energetic, earthy adaptation of the classic Shakespeare tragedy. From study abroad, the young Prince of Denmark returns home to find his mother has married his uncle, and his father's ghost is urging him to action; but what action? Gibson brings real gusto to Hamlet's anguish, and makes this full-blooded translation roar with life. Glenn Close, as his mother, and Helena Bonham Carter, as Ophelia, both lend excellent support. This is Shakespeare with teeth; it should please both students and casual filmgoers.

Editorial Reviews
"...Both leads stand up honourably, with some solid, unshowy acting, to a cluster of high-caliber British Shakespeareans..."
Sight and Sound - Jonathan Romney (05/01/1991)

"...Fluid and atmospheric....Gibson is a serious and compelling Hamlet for today..."
New York Times - Caryn James (12/19/1990)

"...It's exquisitely designed, by Dante Ferretti, and lushly photographed....Gibson shows Shakespearean tools: princely bearing, a resonant and supple voice for verse....He is a creditable Hamlet..."
Sight and Sound - Michael Wilmington (01/18/1991)

4 stars out of 5 -- "It proves one of Gibson's best performances, vibrant, crazed, capturing a sense of emotion running riot that the Royal Shakespeare Company tends to damp down."
Empire - Ian Freer (02/01/2009)
