    Storyline

    Edit
    As a rebellious and motherless child, Ophelia is taken into Elsinore Castle by Queen Gertrude as one of her most trusted ladies-in-waiting. Soon enough, Ophelia captures the affections of the young Prince Hamlet. A passionate romance kindles between the 2 in secret as the kingdom is on the brink of war amidst its own political intrigue and betrayal. When Hamlet's father is murdered and the prince's wits begin to unravel into an insatiable quest for vengeance, Ophelia sharply navigates the rules of power in Denmark all while struggling to choose between her true love and her own life.

      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"
    • Quotes

      [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.

    Cannot always trust critics.
    Possibly because Hamlet is my favourite Shakespeare play, this film held me totally. Almost put off by other people's opinions,thank fully decided for myself. This was very clever,and holding. No two share fully the same views,but I am glad that to mine own self I was true. A haunting film,and I will never watch Hamlet in the same way again. Funny that it was so well received in Russia.
