This is an awesome movie with a strong message! The music is probably the most defining element of the film and it creates an unique atmosphere. I like it. All the actors are excellent. And Richard Chamberlain is surprisingly convincing in a role different from what he usually plays. It is certainly quite a contrast to see him and see such a major transformation on screen. We are far from Ralph de Bricassart! Once more he shows his great talent portraying a totally different character. The film is funny but there is a lot of tenderness and sensibility. I had the impression to be a member of the family during all the movie... Congratulations to everyone at Team Hartman!

Three Days of Hamlet
(2012)
What a wonderful job!
12 February 2012
I had never encountered anything comparable. This is a new and beautiful interpretation with the personal stories of the cast and crew. I felt a lot of emotion, richness, depth, sensitivity and tenderness, humor too... Furthermore, music is mesmerizing... Congratulations to the wonderful actors that remind us brilliantly that this tragedy of another time can be transposed to the news because the great Shakespeare is timeless. Hamlet has fascinated audiences and readers for centuries and this film makes Shakespeare accessible to all. I think it could be a fabulous tool to introduce youngsters to Shakespeare. This is an original way to show that Hamlet is a vehicle used by Shakespeare in order to articulate a whole series of themes central to humanity : relationships between father and son, mother and son, Hamlet and his friends, love relationships, the most significant existential questions... Each of us has a personal vision of Shakespeare, readings of Hamlet are innumerable and vary according to the personality of the reader, director or actor. Each of us, no matter the age, can recognize him or herself in Hamlet and can shape the myth of Hamlet in his/her image. I'm no longer sure to read Hamlet in the same way after seeing this film! To me, this original vision gives a real success. The atmosphere created by Alex Hyde White, wonderful actors and the team is fabulous. "MERCI"! for this wonderful experience.
