	Hamlet (1996 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Shakespeare's Hamlet is a 1996 film version of William Shakespeare's classic play of the same name, adapted and directed by Kenneth Branagh, who also starred in the title role.
		The film is very visual; most of the play's many monologues and soliloquies are accompanied by silent flashbacks or dream sequences depicting the events being spoken of.
		The flashbacks and dream sequences even allow for celebrities appearing as characters that usually don't appear in the play at all, including Sir John Gielgud and Dame Judi Dench as Priam and Hecuba (mentioned in the monologue performed by the First Player on his arrival at Elsinore) and Ken Dodd as the aforementioned Yorick.

		There was a problem in that some of the film had been fogged due to light leaking into the magazine, so the story had to be altered somewhat.
		Wednesday was probably the most stressful day of the three, with the editors struggling to picsync and edit the film with very little time indeed, and the sound people trying to put the soundtrack together in time for the showing at 4.00.

		The film's climactic rape scene is excruciating to witness--Eldard and especially Malone are very courageous indeed to have undertaken it--but when this agon does not illuminate, one feels too much the voyeur.
