Hamlet: The Video

About This Movie

So, 'Hamlet: The Video' is this bizarre little gem that takes a deep dive into the advertising world through the lens of Hamlet cigars. I mean, who would have thought a cigar campaign could be so amusing? It’s not just your run-of-the-mill documentary; it has this quirky charm, with Willie Rushton’s dry humor really tying everything together. The pacing feels laid-back, almost like a casual chat, but it’s interspersed with these clever ads that just make you chuckle. While it’s light and funny, there’s a layer of nostalgia for those who remember the campaign's heyday. And the practical effects? Not really the focus here, but the performances, especially Rushton’s, add a unique flavor. A strange piece of media history, for sure.
