Review of Hamlet (1990) by Connie T — 09 Aug 2013
To be or not to be. That is the question. I had to put the TV way high b/c Shakespeare & mumbling are NOT a good combo. Otherwise, pretty good. Well acted by Mel Gibson, Glenn Close (whom I LOVE) and a very young Helena Bonham Carter.
Not sure I buy Glenn Close playing Mel Gibson's mother, but hell, it was the medieval times. Women had babies at 12, so what the hell? Cool sets that vividly depict the drafty, dark, & damp medieval castles.
..Lots & lots of madness going around, but you probably already knew that. :).
