Elf Unkel is a German film adaptation of the Amletus saga directed by Herbert Fritsch . The brutal piece of revenge, written by the monk Saxo Grammaticus († 1220), also served William Shakespeare as a template for his Hamlet . In 2008 Herbert Fritsch and Sabrina Zwach wrote the script for a film adaptation of Hamlet based on this material. Herbert Fritsch made this book on film that same summer. The press described the film as "Achternbusch on LSD". On March 17th, 2010 the film premiered at the Volksbühne Berlin . The DVD of the film was released on November 11, 2011 at Filmgalerie 451 .

action

The result is a film that describes the story of the young Danish prince who has to accept the murder of his father by his brother and then his mother's ominous relationship with his uncle, this brother and murderer of his father. The young prince decides to take revenge: pretending to be crazy, he wants to solve the murder of his father, who told him shortly before his death who murdered him. Hamlet travels to England for a year and comes back to kill 11 uncles and rescue their mother.

Stylistic devices

The uncle, fratricide , multiplies as a symbol of evil in the course of the film. Herbert Fritsch plays the uncle, at the end plays 11 uncle and thus becomes the eponymous character. Fritsch does not rely on the spoken word, nor on the rules and laws of filmmaking, but is looking for a new formal language, for unusual images and above all for unusual approaches to narration. Influenced by Baroque painting, Fritsch looks for ways of playing and pictures for the eleven uncles.
