Five years ago, in his book "Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human," Harold Bloom explored the authorship of the Hamlet saga in a text he referred to as the "Ur-Hamlet."

Here, Hamlet is stripped bare of his iconic power and shown to be a petulant, self-indulgent and extremely troubled young man, one whose psyche is as fragmentary as the technology he manipulates with cut-and-paste profundity.
He’s a sullen wreck throughout Hamlet, a soul tortured not just by the death of his father (a wraithlike Sam Shepard), and the nearly instantaneous (and carnally charged) remarriage of his mother Gertude (Diane Venora) to his uncle Claudius (Kyle MacLachlan), but his own unfulfilled promise.
Adrift and directionless, Hamlet is a Peter Pan continually postponing adult responsibilities, making time with the impressionable teenager Ophelia (Julia Stiles) – who’s quick to worship his pretentious brooding – while diving headfirst into his own navel.
