Helena Bonham Carter Franco Zeffirelli Hamlet
731 wordsMel Gibson and Franco Zeffirelli's adaptation of Hamlet has filled some of the gaps left by Shakespeare. This version of the classic story is thoroughly watchable.

Almighty Roar Hamlets Father Scene
512 wordsI believe Frances Zefferilli's version of Shakespeare's Hamlet, made in 1990, is one of the best versions of the play to be put onto screen.
