Plot
A four-hour version of the full text of Shakespeare's play, set in a nineteenth-century palace.
Sinekatalog’s take
Kenneth Branagh's full-text adaptation sets Shakespeare's tragedy in a 19th-century palace, running over four hours. Lavish and energetic, it is a rare screen version that includes everything.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
