Tilfældigt filmår, tilfældigt filmtal challenge #1

15 film fra 1921 – #5: Hamlet

Efter at have set Hamlet mindst hundrede gange (fordi jeg har været assistent på en forestilling for et par år siden) er det virkelig fedt at se noget gender-bender fanfiktion. Asta er for vild og queer-vibes til Horatio er fedt, især når Hamlet dør i hans arme. Kunne godt have brugt lidt mere Ophelia, men hvem ku' ik?
