Movie-A-Day #344: Hamlet (1996).

Happy 51st birthday to Kenneth Branagh. He’s back in Hollywood after being absent a while, directing “Thor” and starring in “My Week With Marilyn.” But he really make his mark with his Shakespearean work, and the epitome of that is his epic version of “Hamlet.” It is a sprawling film, alternating between the silly and the sublime, much like its auteur.
