Showing events from the point of view of two minor characters from Hamlet, men who have no control over their destiny, this film examines fate and asks, Can we ever really know what's going on? Are answers as important as questions? Will Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (or Guildenstern and Rosencrantz) manage to discover the source of Hamlet's malaise as requested by the new king? Will the mysterious players who are strolling around the castle reveal the secrets they evidently know? And whose serve is it? —Mark Thompson <mrt@oasis.icl.co.uk>
Did you know
- TriviaOriginally, the two leads (who appropriately spend the movie mixing up their own names) were cast the other way around.
- GoofsThroughout the movie there are scenes where day suddenly changes to night and vice versa. This is a running gag ofTom Stoppard plays which often have "time jumps" written into the stage directions.
- Quotes
Rosencrantz: Do you think Death could possibly be a boat?
Guildenstern: No, no, no... Death is "not." Death isn't. Take my meaning? Death is the ultimate negative. Not-being. You can't not be on a boat.
Rosencrantz: I've frequently not been on boats.
Guildenstern: No, no... What you've been is not on boats.
