Hamlet

Riz Ahmed stars and produces this electrifying reimagining of Hamlet, boldly relocating Shakespeare’s tragedy to London’s South Asian community.

Directed by Oscar winner Aneil Karia (The Long Goodbye), the film transforms Michael Lesslie’s script into a visceral, neo-noir vision pulsing with urgency and atmosphere. Ahmed’s Prince is sharp, magnetic, and deeply unsettling—a man unraveling in a world of betrayal and buried secrets. An outstanding supporting cast includes Sheeba Chaddha, Morfydd Clark, Joe Alwyn, Art Malik, and Timothy Spall.

Set largely under the cover of night, this gripping adaptation reclaims a classic and breathes fierce contemporary life into Shakespeare’s timeless tale of revenge and psychological torment.
