Da'ud Bob's Movie Review
for
January
2021
Zero breasts. ½ gallon of blood. 2 dead bodies, plus one in the play-within-a-play and one ghost). Strangulation fu. Fisticuffs. Poison fu (in the play-within-a-play). Carpet rolls. Carpet unrolls. Hamlet rolls. Gratuitous drinking. (As I said, it’s Gallic.) Gratuitous singing about drinking. (“A plague on sadness! Let’s get drunk!”) Gratuitous saxophone solo. Gratuitous slo-mo crashing waves. A 65 on the Vomit Meter. 2 Stars. Da’ud Bob says, “It’s not quite the Hamlet I’m used to, but it is an interesting French take on the play. Check it out!”
