Hamlet in the Golden Vale

Drama

A company of actors arrive at a castle deep in the Irish countryside and set into motion the story of Shakespeare's Hamlet. The lives of the actors and their characters intertwine as Prince Hamlet confronts the ghost of his father and seeks revenge on the treacherous Claudius, his uncle and newly appointed king. Hamlet's pursuit of vengeance scorches the lives of everyone inside the castle walls and lays bare the many contradictions and ambiguities of human existence. At the play's end, seven days have passed and the actors emerge, leaving the castle and characters behind.

Saw this at a theater in NYC at the Manhattan Film Festival, where it won Best Feature. It's great. A van of actors arrive at a castle, where they immediately transform into an amazing production of Hamlet. So it's a play within a play within a movie. And it really works as a film. The actors speak Elizabethan English so clearly and without artifice that you barely notice it's not fully modern prose. It's exciting as a murder/revenge film, with or without Shakespeare's prose. Run time is two hours, not four, so the text has been cut very intelligently but every word is the original text. The actors are first rate and there's lots of doubling of roles, as Shakespeare had to do with his small company. The film also moves seamlessly between the actors and their roles (you see the actors on break between each act of the play). Bravo to the director and cinematographer.

The cast masterfully brings this epic story to life. Hopkins' Polonius is one of the most delightful performances of the role I have ever seen. Myers' Hamlet is at once childish and wise beyond his years. Dwyer, who plays both Claudius and the Player King brings a vulnerable depth to both characters, The directors and cinematographer have done a beautiful job of translating this play to the screen. The story and landscape are beautifully captured in this artful piece, taking the audience on a journey that feels both foreign and familiar.

I was fortunate enough to be able to see this film for the first time with the cast and crew at its debut in NYC. It was a beautiful interpretation of Hamlet, with absolutely stunning visuals and a talented cast of seasoned Shakespearean actors. The film will leave you aching, laughing, crying, and feeling for the characters throughout the course of the story. I recommend this film to both Shakespeare enthusiasts as well as those who are less familiar. Bravo to all involved in the making of this beautiful story.

This film was a remarkable surprise. Shakespeare can be so self-conscious on film but this movie never takes a wrong turn. A beautifully conceived, atmospheric, riveting and spooky adaptation of the play. Engrossing, passionate performances, astonishing direction and editing. All aspects of the production are highly effective and memorable!

I'd seen the preview for this film and thought it was going to be lonely to look at and exciting for the music and the power in the actors' faces,bug really, no one goes to a movie of "Hamlet" thinking they are going to see the one of best Hamlets they'e ever seen. Taylor Myers is a true revelation of simplicity and passion in the center of the richest, most complex character there. I was not surprised to find out that he has directed the text work (the interpretation and exploration of the language of the play), because his own was so unaffected and clear and beautiful and moving. It's not that I felt nothing but compassion and understanding for Hamlet, no, he was still the troubling antihero that he is, but I could follow the flow of his dilemmas and decisions, the surprises of his actions, and the fullness of his passions even through the gentle modulation of adapting a stage play for the screen. The entire cast had this disarming truthfulness, the story felt new and the light underplay of cinematic concept was so understated that the echoes of their own acknowledgment of the special experience of setting Hamlet in this Irish castle was really gentle and unobtrusive. I hope people take the time to hear this story, as it's really unusual to have such success with shakespeare on film, but, really, just because it was moving

This movie was not only the worst Hamlet but possibly the worst movie I've seen so far this year. Total hogwash Ignore all these glowing "fake" reviews that have been upvoted by the other "fake" reviewers... You know the movie is bad when they need to try and manipulate the score..... Bad movie from start to finish, avoid at all costs

As a portrait of Taylor Myers and company's work, this is a stunner. Roll The Bones specializes in reinvigorating classic dramas through gobsmacking originality in their venues/backdrops and this is film is testament to their biggest coup yet. In particular, the play within the play, as shot from above, tells us something about the architecture of the castle in which they shot, but it also paints Claudius as aloof and impervious to the evil he's beought to the kingdom. In this film, each member of the company had their breakout moment, and the double-casting throws each actor into stark relief with their primary character. However, Elise and Taylor's performances deserve special attention. Elise for her sorrowful, grief-stricken, yet heartrending Ophelia, and Taylor for his manic, unmoored, and terrifying Hamlet. Given the company's repertoire, I shouldn't have been surprised (their Agatha Christie was spine-chilling), but I have never seen a more thrilling or scarier rendition of this play. Hats off to the company.

Hamlet is my favorite chapter of Shakespeare. I see a remarkably high volume of Shakespeare movies and I try to see all of the Hamlets. I don't think this story has ever been told this way before. First of all, it's scary. The scenes with the ghost are authentic to a real ghost story. The musical score helps keep the heightened awareness that it is, in fact, a horror story, throughout the film. That music, the cinematography and the lighting show how lonely Hamlet's world is and it is interesting to note that, as the story progresses and the truth comes out there is more and more light in the scenes until the final scene which is played outdoors in broad daylight. GENIUS. The directors have made the story accessible to even those who may not understand Shakespeare as well as the scholars. They have filmed it in a way that the filmmaking itself is one of the characters of the play, with the same kind of emotional gravitas that you might get from, say, an actor doing a monologue or weeping over the loss of a sister and a father. And what acting, indeed. It is difficult to single out any of these actors as exemplary because it feels like a disservice to the other members of the ensemble. And that's what this is: an ensemble. So, to pay proper tribute to the ensemble: Taylor Myers is the possibly the FIRST EVER age appropriate Hamlet I have seen - he is sympathetic, humorous, frenzied, relatable, scary, and heartbreaking. Pat Dwyer is possibly the first actor ever to play all three kings in Hamlet - his Ghost is terrifying, his Player King is poignant and his Claudius is so layered and nuanced as to indicate this actor MUST, one day, play Lear. Yuriy Pavlish is so sharp, so on point as Laertes during his opening scenes, as to make his return to Elsinore all the more heartbreaking as he watches Ophelia disintegrate -- such calamity and anger in the final half hour of the film. Beth Ann Hopkins as Gertrude has a perfect balance of quiet strength as the concerned mother and submissive support as the wife of a strong willed King. Jonathan Hopkins takes Polonius to places he has never gone before, ever, and then does a complete 180 as the Gravedigger. Constantine Malahias as Rosencrantz AND Guildenstern -- TWINS -- effing BRILLIANT and no mistake. Anthony Vaughn Merchant as Horatio absolutely breaks your heart - nobody ever had a more devoted friend and everybody should. And speaking of heartbreak, let's talk about Elise Kibler, the greatest Ophelia you'll ever see. Sorry Kate Winselt, sorry Helena Bonham-Carter. This mad scene will TEAR you UP. Dan Hasse has created a script for Hamlet that is simply beautifully executed, included a breathtaking device that no Hamlet has ever had before, bringing the audience further into the journey than they probably ever have gone before; then, along with Taylor Myers, with whom he shares a directing credit, he brings this train into the station with ease and a breathtakingly new flair. I cannot stress, enough, the esteem I have for this new and singular work of art. Worth. Catching.

What a beautiful and haunting adaptation. Taylor Myers, as mastermind director & lead, is a force to be reckoned with. Chilling performances by the entirety of the cast as well. Bravo.
