Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead: visually, this film embraces the idea of being filmed theater with gusto and, while it is by design, it’s also unappealing. The strength, however, lies mostly on the writing: it’s a fascinating exercise, a derivative work that makes fun at the original work without taking it lightly; it’s also, more relevantly, very funny and entertaining without being devoid of meaning. Gary Oldman and Tim Roth read the dialogue brilliantly and create characters that, even if no one else can, are very distinguishable.
