This was a real surprise. I did not know this even existed. I am very fond of the version with Lawrence Olivier. Some people might find it a bit creaky but I am okay with that. I am entirely creaky myself. The locations in this Russian version are stunning, as are the more "theatrical" aspects. The ghost appearences, the play within the play. Not too self aware but brimming with respect for the text. Its energetic without that odd running on the spot energy some stage productions have. Despit the shift into the Russian tongue which definately change the inflection and tone of certain words. You ever hear a Dalek scream Exterminate in German?
I have.
