Review
Franco Zeffirelli has made cinematic adaptations of Shakespeare's work something of a speciality, and this energetic, earthy, Anglo-Saxon set version lives up to his reputation. He brings out the very best from Mel Gibson, who brings real gusto to Hamlet's anguish, and makes this full-blooded translation roar vividly with life. Glenn Close, as his mother, and Helena Bonham Carter, as Ophelia, both lend excellent support, as do the rest of the star-studded cast. Excellent and should please both students and more casual viewers.
