"Spectacular. A considerable personal victory for Mel Gibson:'
Gibson plays the prince of medieval Denmark, sensing a dark conspiracy behind his royal father's death. Ensnared in this unraveling treachery is one of the most powerful casts ever in a Bard-based film: Glenn Close as Hamlet's mother Gertrude, Alan Bates as the usurper Claudius, Paul Scofield as the ghost of Hamlet's father, Ian Holm as meddling advisor Polonius and Helena Bonham-Carter as the ill-fated Ophelia. Vivid and virile, this is a compelling Hamlet for today" (Caryn James, The New York Times).
