ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD

For lovers of wordplay, meta-narrative, and dark humor, ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD is an intelligent and playful companion piece to Hamlet, reimagined as an existential comedy of errors.

Tom Stoppard’s directorial debut brings his celebrated absurdist play to the screen, following Hamlet’s doomed courtiers as they grapple with fate, chance, and existential dread.

Gary Oldman and Tim Roth’s performances ground the film’s sharp, philosophical humor, while Stoppard’s dialogue blends Shakespearean gravitas with Beckettian absurdity.

Rich in theatrical wit and visual invention, this cult classic remains a dazzling exploration of destiny and identity.
