The Hamlet Confessions

Director in Person
Directed by Daniel Sussner.
With Jeremy Funke, Uchenna Aguoji.
US, 2002, digital video, color, 30 min.

Collapsing the space between fiction and documentary, this vibrant collage of tone poems and scholarly interviews weaves together an original, yet accessible, cinematic interpretation of Shakespeare’s classic tale of revenge and despair. A penetrating and dreamlike meditation on death and identity in both Shakespeare’s time and our own, The Hamlet Confessions, a work-in-progress by current Harvard undergraduate Daniel Sussner, supplements its vision with commentary by cast, crew, and professors, including Stanley Cavell, Stephen Greenblatt, and Marjorie Garber.
