Olivier’s Shakespeare Films

HAMLET

UK, 1948, Laurence Olivier

Shakespeare meets German Expressionism and film noir in Laurence Olivier’s celebrated adaptation, the first British film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. A blonde Olivier (Oscar winner for Best Actor) plays the medieval Danish prince who wants to avenge his father’s murder but is stymied by indecision. Jean Simmons and Christopher Lee co-star; William Walton composed the music. “Very likely the most exciting and most alive production of Hamlet you will ever see on the screen.” –Pauline Kael. DCP. 154 min. Special admission $12; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $9. No passes. See next blurb for another cinematic take on Hamlet.
