  VH1.com : Movies : Person : Innokenty Smoktunovsky : Biography
An internationally acclaimed Russian dramatic actor of stage and screen, Innokenty Smoktunovsky is best remembered for his portrayal of Hamlet in the 1964 Russian film version.
In some regards, Smoktunovsky's decline could be compared to that of Sir Laurence Olivier, for the Russian actor, too, began to be rather indiscriminate in choosing later roles.
Still, Innokenty Smoktunovsky made many important additions to his country's cinema and for his contributions, he received numerous special awards, including the designation of People's Artist of the Soviet Union (1974) and the Lenin Prize (1964).

The ominous quiet of these images is suddenly shattered by a wide shot of Hamlet (Innokenty Smoktunovsky) riding a horse at frantic full gallop across a barren landscape, then up and through the gates of Elsinore.
Later, Ophelia is shown being locked into a stiff iron corset that looks more like a torture device than a piece of apparel.
Smoktunovsky plays Hamlet with a heartbreaking openness, his overwhelming grief and anger made profoundly clear in his haunted eyes.

A genuinely cinematic screen adaptation of Shakespeare's play brimming over with superb marginal visual details, this HAMLET has an exciting epic sweep.
Smoktunovsky plays the melancholy Dane as a man of positive action in a drama that unfolds between shots of lowering rocks and turbulent seas.
Due to the lively cinematic imagination of director Kosintzev, this is one of the most visually striking interpretations of the oft-filmed play.
