Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1990)

Director Tom Stoppard turns William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" topsy-turvy in this witty, existential puzzle box, presenting the play from the view of trivial characters Rosencrantz (Gary Oldman) and Guildenstern (Tim Roth). Beckoned to find the cause of the Danish prince's malaise, the duo strolls into the midst of the royal intrigue. But with no memory of Hamlet (or anything else), they're mystified by their mission -- and oblivious to their fate.

My Two Cents: Seinfeld meets Laurel and Hardy meets Shakespeare; Roth and Oldman give brilliant performances.
