The Days of Hamlet has an intriguing blend of the already impressive story about a rushed stage production with the juxtaposition of a personal back story of actor and his father with well-crafted technical excellence. The inclusion of well-established actors raised the interest in the stage production storyline. What separated this film from traditional documentaries is Hyde-White's inner journey on parental relations and his self-discovery. The intertwining of the two stories were provided in engaging and solid pace, accomplished by exceptional editing and smooth nice transitions. The technical excellence found in the cinematography of the stage sequences was amazing. Even if you are not a fan of the theater, this is a film worth viewing for the personal story alone. This film was a finalist in the 2012 Naperville Film Festival.
