Depuis que le père de Hamlet est mort et que sa veuve Gertrud (Elina Salo) a epousé Klaus (Esko Salminen), plus rien ne va dans l'entreprise familiale. En proie à de profonds tourments, Hamlet (Pirkka-Pekka Petelius) simule la folie et courtise la jeune Ofelia (Kati Outinen). Mais lorsque Klaus annonce son intention de vendre les chantiers navals et de se consacrer à la production de canards en plastique, Hamlet décide de réagir. D'après la tragédie de William Shakespeare. (Pyramide Distribution)

Hamlet as a symptom of capitalism? Why not! Kaurismäki ironically turned over and dissected Shakespeare, then told the result with a laconic grin that, at the right moments, goes into theatricality and absurdity. Scenes such as the drowning of Ophelia or the duel between Hamlet, Laert and Claudia are superbly set in a tragic frame of pop playfulness. Proof that a drunk Finn has more than just a morbid sense of humor.

A different take on Hamlet. While the film isn't lacking in ideas, one might question the necessity of connecting it with Shakespeare and his renowned theatrical play. Perhaps it could have stood alone as a film without reference to the tragic character, which might have worked even better for me. x
