La bisbetica domata e Romeo e
Giulietta,
Franco Zeffirelli si cimenta per la terza volta con un dramma di Shakespeare. L'Amleto viene rivisitato in veste moderna, pur rimanendo identico il periodo storico, e cioč meno femmineo e ambiguo che in passato. Questo in sintonia con il pubblico giovane abituato agli eroi ultramaschili e potenti fisicamente. Mel Gibson recita con una certa bravura i versi del drammaturgo inglese, coadiuvato da Glenn Close in versione dolce e da due mostri sacri del teatro e del cinema inglese: Alan Bates e Paul Scofield. Lo spettacolo regge, ma in alcuni momenti si rischia il ridicolo. Tutti gli accessori, scenografia, costumi e musiche sono egregiamente orchestrati. Ma non cercano finezze
psicologiche».

«Director Franco Zeffirelli and star Mel Gibson combine their talents for this full-blooded adaptation of the classic tragedy. The movie is a concise, trimmed version of the play, as Hamlet returns to Elsinore to finds his mother married to his uncle and his dead father's ghost demanding vengeance. Shot in Northern Scotland amid actual castles and foggy landscapes, the film has a very realistic, rugged feel courtesy of cinematographer David Watkin. Mel Gibson is superb in the title role, burying his movie star persona within a sulking, sometimes completely unsympathetic performance as the prince. Glenn Close as his mother is also disturbingly real--the two share some scenes that are nearly incestuous in their intensity--and Helena Bonham Carter lends Ophelia the perfect note of otherworldly pain. This is a perfect companion to Zeffirelli's earlier Shakespeare
films, Taming
of the Shrew
and Romeo
& Juliet, and proves that he is a true master of poetry and period realism. Shakespeare fans should be very pleased, and beginners will find no better place to start than this accessible and vibrant
adaptation».
