Respected Italian director Franco Zeffirelli provided film enthusiasts with one of the best loved versions of Romeo and Juliet in 1968. 22 years later, he directed another classic Shakespeare play for the big screen, 1990’s Hamlet. The surprising star of Hamlet is Mel Gibson, better known until then for his roles in films like Lethal Weapon and Mad Max. He more than holds his own in the title role as Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, a troubled young man who longs to avenge his murdered father. The film provides an interesting mix of Hollywood actors and British actors known for Shakespearean stage work. In the former category, you have Glenn Close in the role of Gertrude, Hamlet’s mother, and in the latter, you’ll find Ian Holm playing Polonius as well as a young Helena Bonham Carter starring as Ophelia, Hamlet’s love interest. Then there is veteran Shakespearean actor Paul Scofield as the frightening ghost of Hamlet’s father. Both Holm and Scofield had acted in the role of Hamlet prior to this film. In addition to directing, Zeffirelli co-wrote the screenplay with Christopher De Vore. The 130 minute film is a faster-paced and more action packed Hamlet than you’ve seen before, with Gibson providing a passionate performance. With only a little over two hours at their disposal, the writers had to cut a good portion of the text, but the basic vengeful, tragic story arc remains intact. Likewise, Close provides a strong Gertrude, though it’s perhaps Holm’s Polonius that will linger longest in many minds. It is his accidental death at the hand of Hamlet that sends Polonius' daughter Ophelia mentally around the bend, an emotional instability that Bonham Carter memorably vivifies. The film was nominated for two Academy Awards, Best Art Direction and Costume Design. It was the very first film produced by Mel Gibson’s company Icon, which went on to produce more films in which he starred, including Braveheart, Maverick, and The Passion of the Christ.
His 'Hamlet' is long but not slow, deep but not difficult, and it vibrates with the relief of actors who have great things to say, and the right ways to say them. And in the 70-mm. version, it has a visual clarity that is breathtaking. It is the first uncut film version of Shakespeare's most challenging tragedy, the first 70-mm. film since 'Far and Away' in 1992, and at 238 minutes the second-longest major Hollywood production (one minute shorter than 'Cleopatra'). Branagh's Hamlet lacks the narcissistic intensity of Laurence Olivier's (in the 1948 Academy Award winner), but the film as a whole is better, placing Hamlet in the larger context of royal politics, and making him less a subject for pity.
The story provides a melodramatic stage for inner agonies. Hamlet (Branagh), the prince of Denmark, mourns the untimely death of his father. His mother, Gertrude, rushes with unseemly speed into marriage with Claudius, her husband's brother. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. And then the ghost of Hamlet's father appears and says he was poisoned by Claudius What must Hamlet do? He desires the death of Claudius but lacks the impulse to act out. He despises himself for his passivity. In tormenting himself he drives his mother to despair, kills Polonius by accident, speeds the kingdom toward chaos and his love, Ophelia, toward madness.
What is intriguing about 'Hamlet' is the ambiguity of everyone's motives. Tom Stoppard's 'Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead' famously filtered all the action through the eyes of Hamlet's treacherous school friends. But how does it all look to Gertrude? To Claudius? To the heartbroken Ophelia? The great benefit of this full-length version is that these other characters become more understandable.

The role of Claudius (Derek Jacobi) is especially enriched: In shorter versions, he is the scowling usurper who functions only as villain. Here, with lines and scenes restored, he seems more balanced and powerful. He might have made a plausible king of Denmark, had things turned out differently. Yes, he killed his brother, but regicide was not unknown in medieval times, and perhaps the old king was ripe for replacement; this production shows Gertrude (Julie Christie) as lustfully in love with Claudius. By restoring the original scope of Claudius' role, Branagh emphasizes court and political intrigue instead of enclosing the material in a Freudian hothouse.
