Episode 23: Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead! / Top 3 “Movie Questions”




The Q Filmcast show

Summary: Episode 23, Our attempt to class it all up takes us to Denmark as we queue up the 1990 stage to screen adaptation of ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD! From writer/director Tom Stoppard - Staring Gary Oldman, Tim Roth and Richard Dreyfuss. Told as a tale of Shakespearean origin from a skewed and unexpected perspective, two relatively minor characters from Hamlet take center stage as they try to determine the source of the prince's tortured despair. Along the way, the duo ponders the question of fate as their predetermined roles are played out. Meanwhile, they dabble in a little verbal tennis and some ill-advised science experiments... In other words, Roth & Oldman deliver Shakespear in a round about way while Richard Dreyfuss pulls the strings. And yes, that was his ACTUAL HAIR! Flocked and locked!
