Lakewood Public Cinema: Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (1990) Directed by Tom Stoppard Rated PG

Two minor characters from Hamlet wander into an absurdist comedy and hope to somehow make it out with their lives.  Gary Oldman and Tim Roth play the fools in question, while Richard Dreyfus chews scenery as the Player in a most grandiloquent fashion. Will proving that you have free will save your life? Disproving it certainly won’t.  At the very least, philosophy, tragedy and comedy serve to pass the time.
