Gabriel Axel gets a fair amount of production value from Helen Mirren's breasts

Everyone knows that Shakespeare created the Hamlet story. Very few people know that a Danish remake was made years later with a stellar cast putting in an awful collective performance. Why make an adaptation when Shakespeare's original was so perfect? Duh

I cannot believe the amount of sub-educated morons here who are calling this a RE-TELLING of Hamlet. Or saying "well it's Shakespeare", no, it bloody isn't. This is is the original story. Bad cinerama or no. Bad acting or no. Hamlet's better? Yeah well Hamlet's the rip-off, eejits. You guys are the same ignoramuses calling the Snow Queen a rip-off of Frozen. Stick to what you know, Yanks, or sit down and learn. I wish someone would do THIS ONE high budget and with better acting (though the actors should have been fine).

Variety

Danish director Gabriel Axel’s Prince of Jutland is a lovingly made, ultra-small-scale yarn that successfully evokes the saga tradition at the cost of jettisoning most audiences in the process.

[Prince of Jutland] is epic in structure, but has an intimacy worthy of a small character study.

Prince of Jutland is an unusual, refreshing and slightly bleak film.
