The Banquet 2006
I must admit to never having seen Hamlet itself so I cannot say to what extent this is a faithful interpretation, but what I can say is that this is one of the most sumptuous and beautiful tragedies I have ever seen. The martial arts scenes are not at all excessive and only add to the feel of the film being a piece of art rather than just a historical piece.
Regardless of your opinion on Shakespeare, I would recommend this purely on account of the stunning cinematography, heart-wrenching drama, and Zhang Ziyi's glorious performance.
