In December 2000, Peter Brook directed in English ” the tragedy of Hamlet ” by William Shakespeare at the Bouffes du Nord theatre. With a magnificent casting that has been dominated by Adrian Lester (Hamlet), this show has known a real success.With the Arte, the BBC and the NHK collaboration, Peter Brook decided last summer to give this ” Hamlet ” a film continuation, real adaptation and re-creation of the performance, with the complicity of his director of photography, Ricardo Aronovich.As a result, it is a renewed approach of the Shakespeare text in which the film writing gives an intern visibility full of vitality and coolness.
