Hamlet Goes Business - 1987 - 7/10
AKA - Hamlet liikemaailmassa
[Image: 33ky62t.jpg]
Finnish reworking transforms the indecisive prince into a Noir player, as manipulative as he is lethal.
Hamlet’s father is murdered. The murderer marries Hamlet’s mother, takes over management of the company.
He announces he intends to sell off the shipping and timber divisions, in order to corner the rubber duck market.
You read correct. That is just one of many alterations.
Stark black n white, loaded with droll comedy, and murders aplenty.
I have seen over a dozen Hamlets. All are overlong and I find Hamlet himself annoying.
This version runs a concise 87“ and is funny.
Mmmm ... Scandinavian humor might be an acquired taste.
