BUEI Screens presents Ophelia on Sunday, August 11th.
One of the world’s greatest dramas is turned on its head through a bold and new perspective in Ophelia. Set in medieval Denmark and spoken in a modern tongue with a poetic twist, it recalibrates the classic Shakespearean tragedy of Hamlet so that its unspoken, complex heroine may share her own story.
As a rebellious and motherless child, Ophelia (Daisy Ridley) is taken into Elsinore Castle by Queen Gertrude (Academy Award Nominee Naomi Watts) 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 two 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. Also co-starring Academy Award Nominee Clive Owen.
The film begins at 5:15pm in the Tradewinds Auditorium. You can even make a night of it as the Harbourfront restaurant opens for dinner at 6pm, and ticket holders are entitled to 10% off dinner (food only) after the film. Reservations required. Please call 295-4207 for reservations and be sure to mention the film. Cannot be combined with any other special offers.
Tickets are $15 each, $12 for Students, and available from www.Ptix.bm or by calling or visiting BUEI’s Oceans Gift Shop. Tickets are non-refundable within 24 hours of the event.
