83. Phyllidia Lloyd’s The Tempest (Part 3 of The Donmar Warehouse’s All-Female Shakespeare Trilogy), 2019 I have a fondness for prison theater.

The Rogue’s Guide to Shakespeare on Film #82: Hamlet (1964)
82. Grigori Mikhaylovich Kozintsev and Iosef Shapiro’s Hamlet I am not sure why I enjoyed this Russian Hamlet so much. Jaded churl that I’ve become. I have had a surfeit of Hamlet (this is my eighth for this blog), and I don’t see that Kozintsev and Shapiro’s’s gorgeous, yet understated presentation is breathtakingly original.
