Ausgewählte Rezension

Low key version of Hamlet

When I got over the initial surprise of what this movie was,(for some reason the writers of the blurb on the tape packaging don't want you to know), I found myself enjoying it.

This is not Shakespeare's Hamlet, with poetry, dramatic speeches and opportunities for showy histrionics but a steadily paced re-telling of the original Norse legend.

It's not for everybody but I found the combination of bleak Jutland scenery, calm voice-over narration and the momentum of the Royal intrigues fascinating and hypnotic.

Good acting by the principals.

Geruth: What have you done?
Amled: And you mother? What have you done?
Geruth: You've regained your senses.
Amled: You can't regained what you've never lost. I'm in my right mind, I always have been. But where has your mind been, and where have your eyes been?

Alternative Versionen
The US VHS release of the film under the title "Royal Deceit" cut the film down to 85 minutes. The biggest loss here was the beginning showing Fenge conspiring with the men to kill his brother, and the murder of the king itself. This version begins with the king already dead and Fenge being crowned. A voice over then explains that Amled witnessed his uncle kill his father and is now pretending to be mad.
