From the very beginning the plot twists and the way that the characters interact are spellbinding. As with all things Stoppard, the inventiveness of the basic plot is unsurpassed: two minor characters from Hamlet are imagined into their own story as a spinoff from the Shakespeare tragedy. A brilliant cast matches the genius of Stoppard in my Best Film Ever.

You need to know Hamlet, or to have seen it quite recently in order to really "get" this, but it's probably quite an entertaining romp anyway. It's transferred very effectively from stage to screen where you get more of a sense of being just a few steps away from the real tragic action.
