Hamlet
The motion picture of all time ... for all time!
Directed by Laurence Olivier
Produced by Two Cities Films, J. Arthur Rank Organisation
A profound, visually elegant meditation on murder, madness, and mortality that grapples with the deepest questions of human existence through Shakespeare's masterwork.
Winner of four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor, Sir Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet continues to be the most compelling version of Shakespeare’s beloved tragedy. Olivier is at his most inspired—both as director and as the melancholy Dane himself—as he breathes new life into the words of one of the world’s greatest dramatists.
