Special features: Asta Nielsen Privat (1970); Asta Nielsen Privatoptagelser (1912-14); Hamlet Ffassungsvergleich = Version comparison (2009); Der elektronischen Hamlet (2007) - interviews with the composer of the new musical score for Hamlet; Hamlet con Asta Nielsen (2007). Disc 1: Hamlet (110 min.) ; Disc 2: Die Filmprimadonna (17 min. Fragment); special features. This Hamlet remains one of the least known partly because the title role is played by a woman and the plot also borrows from Danish legends and a German play. For reasons of state the heiress to the throne has been brought up as a boy, and she has conceived a hopeless passion for Horatio. "Asta Nielsen, born in Denmark in 1881, was the first diva of European silent film. In the still incomplete Die Filmprimadonna she plays the role of a star fighting for increased influence on the entire production process."--Container. |
