AB  - Points out that although earlier films of Hamlet that address the theme of surveillance are set in past eras, Michael Almereyda's and Gregory Doran's versions (q.v.) feature contemporary settings, with numerous employments of modern surveillance devices. Finds that in each film, Hamlet is both watched by surveillance cameras and performs surveillance with cameras of his own, which foregrounds the claim that surveillance can "find where truth is hid," but also emphasizes the "failure of surveillance to reveal coherence, wholeness, and truth."
