Not American...

If you have seen Babette's Feast and can appreciate the difference between a more European, understated style of film making and the slam-bang, in-your-face style the Yanks dish out year in and year out... Then this may be a movie for you.

Here is a small film by a director working in a language that is not his own. An experiment in story telling that succeeds on its own terms. Here is a film that is scored by one of the more highly rated, avant-guard classical composers in Europe. It re-tells a well beloved story by going at it by the roots in order to give it a fresh spin. The wonderful cast of British (and Irish) stars can be applauded for endorsing what must have been a modestly budgeted film.

Of course it is not Shakespeare. But it sheds new light on the Hamlet play by exploring the legend that inspired the bard to choose it as story material. For fans of history and drama.

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.
