Hamlet

"The third Shakespearean adaptation for renowned filmmaker Franco Zeffirelli, Hamlet earned two Academy Award nominations in 1991 and allowed star Mel Gibson to flex some of his more dramatic acting chops. On this DVD release from Warner Home Video, the film is presented in the widescreen format with an anamorphic transfer. The original English soundtrack has been rendered in Dolby Digital 2.0 sound with English, Spanish, and French subtitles available. Along with an introduction by Gibson, the film is supplemented by a pair of featurettes: ""Hamlet: An Actor's Journey"" delves into the process of performing the bard from a thespians point of view, while ""Mel Gibson: To Be or Not to Be"" takes viewers behind the scenes for glimpses at the making of the film."
