Post Modern Masterpiece
This is a brilliant inversion of Shakespeare's "Hamlet", centered on the the chartecters of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, that tells the story of the play from a very different perspective. Its recent appearance on cable TV is hopefully a signal that a US release is soon in the coming.
From the same mind as "Shakespeare in Love", it shares the same wonderful insights into Shakespeare's material, while sticking closer to the story told in "Hamlet". Though somewhat darker in humor, it is an enjoyable viewing experience that holds up to repeated viewings. And it is one of Tim Roth's best performances.
A must for every film and theatre lover's collection.
