Plot
Shakespeare's Hamlet in the world of business.
Sinekatalog’s take
Aki Kaurismäki's debut-era comedy transplants Hamlet to a Finnish rubber-duck corporation, with deadpan murder and intrigue. Dry, absurd and affectionately cheeky, it is an early taste of his offbeat world.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
