by any chance, would any of you be able to recommend a good recorded stage production or film adaptation of Hamlet? Realised I have a fair few Shakespeare plays left to watch after Macbeth, Othello, Antony and Cleopatra, Coriolanus, Twelfth Night, Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Henry V and Measure For Measure, and Hamlet is just as good a place to go from as any. (That or a good Lear tbh.)

oliviers is really good but it's not a 1:1 adaptation if that grinds your gears

(That or a good Lear tbh.) generally I go for the Kenneth Branagh directed Shakespeare stuff because he gets the language and setting right. He did a version in 1996 that I feel is definitive. If you want to play with the settings a bit, the 2000 version with Ethan Hawke is also good.

It's not Hamlet and it's not strictly an adaptation but everyone who is into Shakespeare needs to watch Orson Welles' Chimes At Midnight. Its a masterpiece.

Not of Hamlet unfortunately, but this post reminded me that everybody should check out Ian McKellan's film adaptation of Richard III, because holy poo poo it is loving great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm1kaanjd8M

yea ok posted:oliviers is really good but it's not a 1:1 adaptation if that grinds your gears tbh his Macbeth wasn’t 1:1 so I’ll take my chances I too hate Mel Gibson, so I definitely won’t be trying his one, and good shout on Hopkins’ Titus, I’ve been meaning to watch that since I saw how they presented Aaron’s confession https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcLGJ0c-X9k e: coconono, I loving love Branagh’s Henry V, and I was kinda reticent about trying his Hamlet b/c I’ve heard kinda mixed things about it, but I’ll give it a look now, thanks!

Branagh productions were always in heavy rotation in my English Lit courses so I've seen the Hamlet one a few times. I think people panned it because it had actual action sequences and poo poo.

Touch of Evil is great too, just to see Welles playing such a disgusting piece of poo poo. His Harry Lime in The Third Man is unbelievably great though.

If you want to play with the settings a bit, the 2000 version with Ethan Hawke is also good. I'd recommend the Branagh one, both because it's good and also I think it's one of the only filmed versions of the entire play (which is why it's 4 Goddamn hours long). I hated that 2000 version. It feels like it's desperately trying to be clever but doesn't know how, leading to stupid poo poo like delivering the "to be or not to be" soliloquy in the aisles of a loving Blockbuster.

This thread has made me realize that I've read Hamlet multiple times, and I really like the story, but I've never seen a production or adaptation that I actually enjoyed.

Yeah it's an exhausting movie but it's great. I saw a remastered version 2 years ago when it was making rounds, the costumes are quite a sight.
