Hamlet (1969)
An..... Interesting Version of Hamlet

As the front cover says "The hamlet of our time, for our time".
I had to study this filmed version of Hamlet directly after watching Keneth Branagh's version and it was truly a disappointing experience.
This version takes a different approach to several aspects of the play including sexuality; one very VERY homosexual Osric and an interesting interaction between Hamlet and Ophelia. I think for the time (60's) this was a very well done version of Hamlet but cannot compare to Branagh's complete version.
just a note... I found the video at my local video store (in Australia) and I'm actually looking for a Keneth Branagh DVD to buy if such a thing even exists. If anyone knows of one please tell me.
