The 1996 film adaptation of William Shakespeare's play "Hamlet," adapted and directed by Kenneth Branagh, is the first unabridged theatrical film version of the play, running just over four hours. The setting is updated to the 19th century, but its Elizabethan English text remains the same. Blenheim Palace is the setting used for the exterior grounds of Elsinore Castle and interiors were all photographed at Shepperton Studios, blended with the footage shot at Blenheim.
The film uses a conflated text based on the 1623 First Folio, with additions from the Second Quarto and amendments from other sources. According to a note appended to the published screenplay: "The screenplay is based on the text of 'Hamlet' as it appears in the First Folio – the edition of Shakespeare’s plays collected by his theatrical associates Heminges and Condell and published in 1623 by a syndicate of booksellers. Nothing has been cut from this text, and some passages absent from it (including the soliloquy "How all occasions do inform against me...") have been supplied from the Second Quarto (an edition of the play which exists in copies dated 1604 and 1605). We have also incorporated some readings of words and phrases from this source and from other early printed texts, and in a few cases emendations from modern editors of the play. Thus in I, 4, in the passage (from the Second Quarto) about the "dram of eale", we use an emendation from the Oxford edition of the Complete Works (edited by Stanley Wells and Gary Taylor, 1988): 'doth all the noble substance over-daub" – rather than the original's "of a doubt'."
Despite using a full text, Branagh's film is also very visual; it makes frequent use of flashbacks to depict scenes that are either only described but not performed in Shakespeare's text, such as Hamlet's childhood friendship with Yorick, or scenes only implied by the play's text, such as Hamlet's sexual relationship with Kate Winslet's Ophelia. The film also uses very long single takes for numerous scenes.
Winslet did not even audition for the role of Ophelia. Winslet had previously auditioned for the role of Elizabeth in Branagh's "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein" (1994) (the role ended up being played by Helena Bonham Carter), and Branagh was so impressed that he offered her the role in this movie without so much as a reading. Winslet learned on the day that she had to shoot the straitjacket scene that she had just been given the role of Rose in "Titanic" (1997). Appropriately, Carter played Ophelia in "Hamlet" (1990) opposite Mel Gibson.
Tthe Internet Movie Database lists Shakespeare as having writing credit on 1,500 films, including those under production but not yet released. (Wikipedia/IMDb)
Happy Birthday, William Shakespeare!
