Hamlet [Blu-ray]

[Machine Translation] The love of a man who falls in love with a woman who falls in love with a woman who falls in love with a man who falls in love with a woman who falls in love with a man. Kenneth Branagh, who has made several film adaptations of Shakespeare's works, took on the challenge of making "Hamlet," a historical drama that he had long wanted to make. Kenneth Branagh, who has directed, written, and starred in three roles himself, delivers a lavish depiction of Hamlet in over four hours without cutting any of the dialogue. Ophelia is played by Kate Winslet of "Two in the Shade" fame. The King of Denmark dies suddenly, and his brother Claudius ascends to the throne. One night, however, the ghost of the king appears to Prince Hamlet and tells him that Claudius has conspired against him. Hamlet swears revenge and closes his heart even to his beloved Ophelia.
