Description

A contemporary adaptation of Shakespeare's epic story of passion, betrayal and revenge. The president of the Denmark Corporation is dead, and already his wife is remarried to the man suspected of his murder. No one is more troubled by this than her son, Hamlet. Now, after this hostile takeover, trust is impossible, passion is on the rise and vengeance is in the air.

The least talky Hamlet. It doesn't really make sense...how come the posturing little film student is a practiced fencer? But it is exciting, visceral, and moving. Poor Ophelia, everybody's pawn.
