WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S HAMLET still - select for larger image This is without a doubt the finest screen adaptation of any of Shakespeare's plays. Kenneth Branagh's passion and respect for the work is evident in each scene. With Kate Winslet, Charlton Heston, Derek Jacobi, Richard Sewell and Richard Briers, just to name a few.

Hamlet is the first British film for over 25 years to be filmed in wide–screen 70mm. An artistic triumph.

This full–length, full–text, 70mm version is an Astor exclusive.

Rating: *****
