The wonderful actor and director Kenneth Branagh filmed the tragedy according to his script and brilliantly took on the main role in the film - the role of the Prince of Denmark. The only freedom he could afford, while treating the author's text with the utmost care, was to transfer the plot of the play to the 19th century. This film adaptation of the immortal play "Hamlet" was nominated for 4 Oscars and 2 British Academy Film Awards..
