I: 39%;?“ t” Everyone and his dead father has had a go at Hamlet on film: Olivier, Branagh, Gibson, even Schwarzenegger (the only good moment in The Last Action Hero). We’ve had classic Hamlet (Branagh’s four-hour arse marathon) and oddball Hamlet Goes Shopping (from Finland's Aki Kaurismaki). Now we’ve got post- modern Hamlet (GFT, Glasgow from Friday 15 December) care of arty New York filmmaker Michael Almereyda. Think Hamlet on Wall Street with Ethan Hawke playing the Prince as a Generation X wastrel. See review.
