One Hamlet Less (1973)
178
Original name: Un Amleto di meno
Genre: Drama
Country: Italy
Duration: 70 min.
Story:
The "Hamlet" in this well-mounted Italian spoof is the Danish prince, not a small town or village. The movie irreverently draws on both the Shakespeare play and the 1877 story by Jules Laforgue. In the story, Hamlet (Carmelo Bene) is a would-be playwright. He suffers from inept Freudian analysis by Polonius (Pippo Tuminelli), and Ophelia and Gertrude (Isabella Russo & Luciana Cante) are women conjured up in his erotic imagination.
Style:
experimental
Plot:
tragedy, theater, shakespeare's hamlet, artistic creation
