Blu-Ray Disc

The Blu-Ray was developed as a high-definition successor to the DVD and offers a significantly increased data rate and storage capacity compared to its predecessor. Blu-Rays can therefore store movies with significantly better resolution and offer enormously high picture quality on corresponding screens. Blu-Ray players are usually backward compatible with DVDs, so that they can also be played.

Laurence Olivier directs and stars in this adaptation of Shakespeare's famous tragedy. Hamlet (Olivier), Prince of Denmark, is still mourning over the death of his father and his mother Gertrude's (Eileen Herlie) subsequent remarriage to Hamlet's despised uncle, Claudius (Basil Sydney), who is now King. When his father's ghost appears to Hamlet and reveals that it was Claudius who murdered him, the young prince vows revenge. However, a fatal flaw in his character - hesitation - mars his efforts, resulting in murder, madness and treachery. The film won five Oscars, including Best Actor for Olivier (who was also nominated for Best Director) and Best Film.

Reviews

Lexikon des Int.Films: "Oliviers Inszenierung ist darstellerisch faszinierend und in ihrer psychoanalytischen Deutung interessant. Unter den zahlreichen Verfilmungen des Dramas ist diese eine der künstlerisch wagemutigsten und imposantesten. Der Film selbst und Olivier als Hauptdarsteller erhielten 'Oscars'."
Variety Movie Guide: "Höchste Kinokunst."
