I do not say this lightly. The visual language is unforgettable: the crashing waves, the jagged cliffs, the colossal menacing castle, and amidst it the supreme elegance of Hamlet. Kozintsev is a master of black-and-white. This film has to be in black-and-white. The shades of gray need to be there: the alternately glittering and raging grays of the waves, the mysterious grays of the rock, the deadening gray of the castle, and the slender figure of Hamlet in stark black-and-white contrasted against them. The score by Shostakovitch is shatteringly intense, and it too has to be this way.

Innokenti Smoktunovski was considered one of the greatest actors in the Soviet Union, and it is easy to see why. His voice is awesome. He moves stupendously. At one level, it is attractive and sexy. At another level, it visualizes the fragility, dignity, and beauty of a human being. The scene of Hamlet dying by the sea–a lone figure leaning languidly against the rock–is one of the most haunting images in film.
Directors and actors too often do `Hamlet’ clearly in relation to other `Hamlets’, so much so that it can become a bit of a pissing contest–who can do a more fiery or provocative (or popular) version. This Hamlet is free from such baggage. Its authors start from first principles. They focus on creating a work of art in the medium of film. They use the possibilities of film, but the medium never drives the message. Everything–the sets, the close-ups, the camera angles–is there only for artistic expression.

A great work of art is deeply transformative, and this film is.
From the first scenes, implicitly conveying the fact of the royal death, and Claudius’ monolog, split between a herald reading a decree at a town square, courtiers repeating “in equal scale weighing delight and dole” and foreign ambassadors echoing them in their respective languages, and finally the king himself addressing his advisors – you know you are watching a work of a master. Of the three most popular screen adaptations, the classic Olivier’s, the roaring Mel Gibson’s and the Kenneth Branagh’s parody, none is even close to this one. The excellent set and costumes, great acting, outstanding dark, gothic-like black-and-white camera work, Shostakovich’s music – everything tells of a masterpiece. Of course, limitations of a screen play are obvious – lots of great lines omitted, added scenes (such as Hamlet on his way to England forging the king’s letter, which was borrowed later by Tom Stoppard for his Rozenkrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead) – but it’s the ultimate screen play nonetheless.
