Law's Hamlet is absolutely terrific.He has the humor of a young student, the carefulness and wit of a young prince and the despair and violence of a mourning son.Not stone-faced (as so many in the part) nor excessive, completely in control, but at the same time open( even oblivious of himself) to emotion and graceful in motion .This man is a master of his art, to be or not to be a star is not the question.I realized after the sixth movie I watched with him, I had seen the same man playing different pieces.It shows how impressive his impersonations are and how he masters flexibility and self-oblivion which the essence of acting to me. I hope his career will keep on in such a diversity of parts theatre or movie I don't care and for a very long time. I went to drama school a long time ago, and he really is a walking acting lesson. Such work and talent leave you breathless.Thank you Mr Law. A bravo to all players and the director.I loved the minimalist staging and modern cloths which empathized the youth of the main characters and leave the text and emotions or jest unfold without interferences.Well done.
