Thanks so much for sharing, I'd not heard of this particular production! It's a shame they had to balls up the DVD version. So you actually saw this production performed live? Is it definitive for you because you feel it's the best interpretation of the text or does it just speak to you on another level? (Oops, sorry for all the questions, feel free to ignore me. @_@)
I don't have a Definitive Hamlet of my own, since it isn't my #1 Shakespeare play, but my favourite interpretation thus far is the 1963 Russian film version. I caught it on iPlayer the other day and really enjoyed it. It's... uber Russian, haha. ^^ Innokenty Smoktunovsky's Hamlet is striking and I like how the film literally internalized his soliloquy(s), which I felt helped maintain the film's gloomy magic bubble.
