Pre-Owned Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead [DVD]

First off: This IS a widescreen version, not a pan and zoom narrow view. THAT much is well appreciated. Of course, being a DVD and not a Blu-Ray, it's not 1080p high definition, or fantastic stereo sound. The print is a tad grainy compared to the MGM Channel HD version I have locked away on my DVR. That being said, for a DVD the quality is excellent, and there are no missing or edited scenes that I could find. The story itself is amazing, the execution of it is wonderful. Seriously funny stuff, even IF you aren't a fan of Shakespear... but if you ARE, you need to see this movie. Imagine two characters in the play "Hamlet." In the play, they come onscene at the proper times, they say the proper things, the proper things happen to them. Now imagine stepping away from the audiences' perception, and just following the two characters, while the rest of the play goes on. Keep in mind that they *did not exist* until the play started... you aren't following the people the characters are based upon, you are following the CHARACTERS. An odd point of view... and an opportunity for some seriously funny stuff. I really recommend watching this. ~Mr. Michael
