Hamlet (Gamlet)
1964, NR, 140 min. Directed by Grigory Kozintsev. Starring Innokenti Smoktunovsky, Anastasiya Vertinskaya, Mikhail Nazvanov.
REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Mon., Nov. 12, 2001
With a translation by Boris Pasternak, this Russian version of the Shakespearean play emphasizes an "active" Hamlet rather than a conflicted Freud-driven hero. The music and camerawork stresses the epic.
