Medieval mumbling - Ophelia review by RB

Spoiler Alert

There are no subtitles for this film and only a few of the actors enunciate clearly - most are unintelligible alas.

Different view of Hamlet - Ophelia review by PM

Spoiler Alert
01/06/2020

You could see the story of Hamlet many times.

The great in this movie, when you are sure about the next scenes, but all of them are a little bit different. So you have to thinking and compare them in every moment. There are references to other Shakespeare dramas, so the end if the story is a mix of other plays (specially Romeo and Juliet).

I really love this rethinking of a well known story, which is very similar feelings like the Shakespeare in love was.

Well worth seeing - Ophelia review by SB

Spoiler Alert
22/06/2022

Hamlet retold from Ophelia's point of view. Daisy Ridley gives a strong performance in the lead; Naomi Watts is adequate; Clive Owen somewhat wasted as a thuggish Claudius. The pace is good. The second half changes the story in a fairly credible way, although it involves a conceit which seems unlikely to work in reality. But this is Shakespeare....there are elements of witchcraft mixed in and clear influences from fantasy series.

This is a visually arresting film, very beautiful to look at, even if the Czech Republic, where it was filmed, makes a rather hilly Denmark.
