Movies Like Hamlet
1969·117 min·Dir. Tony Richardson·★ 6.9
Drama
Tony Richardson's Hamlet is based on his own stage production. Filmed entirely within the Roundhouse in London (a disused train shed), it is shot almost entirely in close up, focusing the attention on faces and language rather than action.
