Fortinbras really made an impression on me in that movie. I'd never seen Rufus Sewell before. Definitely wanted to see him again!
Lovely indeed.
My top favourite Hamlet is probably Kenneth Walsh, who is the first one I ever saw live, in 1967 at the National Arts Centre. I don't remember it well but I do remember being mesmerized.
Second favourite; Nicholas Pennell, probably in the 1970s, also a Stratford Festival production.
Favourite film Hamlet - hmm. Maybe it is Branagh. Let me think about this and get back to you.
