Polonius is stabbed through the curtain

Claudius is a drunkard and is often depicted drinking to excess. This behavior is not condoned, however, and it is reported that foreign countries hold Denmark in ill repute as a result of the palace's drunken parties.

The movie at times has a dark tone, but nothing is very disturbing or graphic in this film.

The appearance of the ghost of the dead king is somewhat dark and surreal, and he recounts the way he was murdered.
