Set in the 14th Century but spoken in a contemporary voice, OPHELIA is a dynamic re-imagining of Shakespeare's Hamlet. Ophelia (Daisy Ridley) takes center stage as Queen Gertrude's (Naomi Watts) most trusted lady-in-waiting. Beautiful and intelligent, she soon captures the attention of the handsome Prince Hamlet (George MacKay) and a forbidden love blossoms. As war brews, lust and betrayal are tearing Elsinore Castle apart from within and Ophelia must decide between her true love or her own life in order to protect a very dangerous secret.

মূল্যাংকন আৰু পৰ্যালোচনাসমূহ

Very satisfying, rewatchable, clever interpolation into Hamlet of backstory and more than a few motifs from Romeo and Juliet (without any unsympathetic immaturity of those characters) and some original plotlines. Sometimes the bard's words (eg "Go to a nunnery") are there, in the same setting, but only some of the characters think the meaning the same, others see a different purpose behind the words. The language is layered, occasional wordplay akin to shakespeare, without being archaic.
