Hamlet (Campbell Scott)
Passion, murder and revenge come alive in a modern interpretation of Shakespeare's classic.
Youthful innocence and passionate love are lost to greed, deceit and murder in Shakespeare's immortal Hamlet. Superb direction and acting by Campbell Scott (Dying Young), who portrays the tortured Danish prince, who is visited one dark night in a dream by the spirit of his dead father, proclaiming his untimely death at the hand of his own brother, Claudius. Greed is the motive. The prize is the throne and his beloved wife, Gertrude. The truth must be told through a play, if Hamlet is to enact his revenge. It's a story of the ages which never grows old.

Hamlet - Campbell Scott version 2000 - GF--
This has to be one of the very best Hamlets ever. Campbell Scott is immensely appealing, understandable and sympathetic in a role that can be often murky and offputting when performed by others. He brings a thoroughly modern interpretation to the work, it seems almost colloquial in its style. Very accessible. Great filming and music. Fine supporting cast. If you have been unsure about ever seeing this play again, see Campbell Scott,a breath of fresh air.
