Dédé (1990)
In this retelling of the story of Hamlet, the young man is a soldier on leave to attend his widowed mother's marriage to his uncle - a marriage which is unpleasantly near in time to the death of his father. Every element of Shakespeare's tragic story is present, except that, this time, Dede (Luc Thullier) refuses to kill anyone, no matter how persistent his father's frustrated ghost is.
