Hamlet
A film by Aneil Karia
w/ Riz Ahmed, Morfydd Clark, Timothy Spall
Rated R
1hr 53min
Shakespeare’s most enduring tragedy is reimagined in a bold, modern adaptation set within London’s elite South Asian community. When Hamlet (Riz Ahmed) returns for his father’s funeral, he is stunned to discover his uncle Claudius is marrying his newly widowed mother. Visited by his father’s ghost, Hamlet learns his brutal murder was at the hands of Claudius - and spirals into a quest for vengeance that exposes the rot at the heart of the family’s empire and threatens his own sanity.
A fresh, invigorating 21st-century take that feels both modern and true to The Bard...one of the most compelling and visually striking adaptations of HAMLET in recent memory.
