US (1990): Drama
Franco Zefferelli does yet another Shakespeare, with less success than he had with Taming of the Shrew or Romeo and Juliet. Hamlet (Mel Gibson) returns to Denmark when his father, the King, dies. His mother Gertrude (Glenn Close) has already married Hamlet's uncle Claudius, the new King (Alan Bates). They urge Hamlet to marry his beloved Ophelia (Helena Bonham Carter). But soon the ghost of Hamlet's father appears and tells Hamlet that he was murdered by Claudius and Gertrude. Hamlet must choose between passive acquiescence and the need for a vengeance which might lead to tragedy. (IMDb)
