Once again, Khmer Rouge forces seized and held United Nations peacekeeping troops. Initially 21, mostly Indonesian paratroopers, were held for two days in a hamlet 100 miles north of Phnom Penh by about 70 heavily armed guerrillas, who refuse to cooperate with the U.N. peace plan; 46 U.N. troops negotiating to free them were also briefly detained before all were released.

Hamlet provides an indisposable framework, a crutch for an otherwise weak extrapolation of it. In short, Hamletmaschine ends up a purposeless desecration of Shakespeare's masterpiece, and is successful only through a familiar title and a talented interpretation by the cast...
