I must confess. I've never read Hamlet. I've tried to read Shakespeare, but was drowned in the Olde English verbiage. But after seeing Three Days of Hamlet, I'm ready to brave reading the script. That's one, Alex Hyde-White. Bravo for you turning me on to a Shakespeare classic.
But more touching, more evoking, in watching this documentary were the poignant references to an actor's real-life family - a father/son relationship of two respected actors, Alex Hyde-White and Wilfrid Hyde-White, and the father/sons relationship of the actor and his two children. That's two.
The director/actor took a big risk in this doc/theatrical performance, but the well-chosen talent took a wild leap of faith in him to execute what many would see as a hair-brained idea. But the reality is, it worked.
And kudos to the editor, who allowed not only the "working" moments to make the final cut, but the frustrations, foul-ups and mishaps along the way. That's three. This film has my vote.
