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.

With much of the text diced, the pace quickened, and the action streamlined, the film offers what amounts to an introduction to Shakespeare's classic, without losing any of the play's psychological complexities. Gibson is perfect a...
