College-Bound Intensive: Comparing productions of HAMLET
David Tennant's Hamlet: The Ghost scene
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead:
Interview with the king and queen
This is the film Tom Stoppard made of his terrific play, in which the major characters are two minor characters from Hamlet. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are confused: they don't know why they've been summoned to Elsinore; they can't even remember their own names — they're not quite sure which one is Rosencrantz and which Guildenstern.
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead:
The Game of Questions
This is perhaps my favorite scene from this movie.
