摘要：In Michael Almereyda's low-budgetHamlet (2000) the modernisation is ingenious and stylish. The film is a commentary on earlier film versions as well as an attempt to produce a distinctly contemporary or even postmodern version of the Shakespearean play. Almereyda presents a radical shift of period and milieu, offering a broadly allusive and richly reimagined retelling of its source material. Events of the play are translated into the world of big business in New York City, scenes take place in the skyscraper Head Quarter of the Denmark Corporation. The urban setting, saturated with the vacant images of late capitalismleaves Hamlet in an Un-Shakespearean universe.The aesthetic strategies, frame of reference and experimental modes of Almereyda's film offer interesting challenges
