Clive Owen, Naomi Watts, and Daisy Ridley in Ophelia (2018)

Set in the 14th Century, 'Ophelia' is a 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.

Wissenswertes
The lyrical chanting heard at several pivotal points comes from the play itself. "Hamlet" Act 2 scene 2 page 5 when Ophelias father Polonius reads aloud a letter from Hamlet containing the lines "Doubt that the stars are fire Doubt that the sun doth move Doubt truth to be a liar But never doubt I love"

Patzer
When Hamlet reads the Bible to Ophelia, he recites verses from the Song of Songs, but his book is open to "ParalipomenOn I", i. the first book of the Chronicles.

Zitate
[first lines]
Ophelia: You may think you know my story. Many have told it. It has long passed into history... into myth.
Ophelia: I have seen more of heaven and hell than most people dream of. But I was always a willful girl, and followed my heart, and spoke my mind. And it is high time I should tell you my story myself.

Sumptuous feast for the eyes

It is not surprising the name of the costume designer features so early in the credits because he played a major role in making this film so watchable. All those gorgeous costumes must have cost a bit but along with some splendid décor, ecclesiastical and baronial interiors (and a few exteriors) and outdoor scenes of woods glades and hills this film never fail to offer pleasure for the eye. The story proceeds at a sufficient pace with some unexpected twists and turns while bringing out how empty and unsatisfying royal or any great power can be. Is it really worth fighting so hard for? Pity about the mayhem of the penultimate scene, it was unnecessary, but makes Ophelia's choice at the end seem a wise one.
