In his newest work, a resounding hit at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Almereyda resituates Shakespeare’s most famous play amidst the corporate, high-tech, digitalized world of contemporary Manhattan. The Bard’s original text is intact and delivered with emotional conviction in psychologically rich performances by a phenomenal cast. But the classic story of family conflict, thwarted love, and confrontation with death is opened out to embrace spectacular images and rhythms of modern metropolitan life, which come to seem a natural home to this archetypal tale.
