Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (1990)

Director: Tom Stoppard
Writer:    Tom Stoppard
Cast:      Tim Roth, Gary Oldman, Richard Dreyfuss

Two minor characters from the play, 'Hamlet' stumble around unaware of their scripted lives and unable to deviate from  them.

I didn't know about the story of Hamlet before watching the film and I think that adds to your viewing pleasure when you are watching this film for the first time. Many of its dialogues are philosophical and the film as a whole require multiple viewings to fully appreciate it. It is an adaptation of the play written by the director himself, Tom Stoppard. 

Rating: 3.5/5
