I remember seeing a minimalist sci-fi staging of Hamlet in the '90s, I think there was only about half-a-dozen actors and the play-within-the-play section was done as the characters jacking into some kind of VR sim. The whole thing felt like something you might see in an old Doctor Who episode, it was great.
Film-wise, I think Kurosawa's Throne of Blood is probably my favourite. (Maybe helps that Macbeth is my favourite Shakespeare.)
Curiousity piqued by your post led me to watch (and greatly enjoy!) this Hallmark Hamlet!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!

That performance sounds so cool.
I'll have to check out Throne of Blood! Kurosawa is excellent.
Most enjoyable!! Once I stopped giggling at your premise (and at the first clip) I realized you were critiquing a good movie!
Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
