LDNDOCS 2025: KING HAMLET

In this intimate documentary, actor Oscar Isaac takes on the complex task of portraying Shakespeare's Hamlet at New York's prestigious Public Theatre. Filmed by his wife Elvira Lind, through her deeply personal lens, we witness a pivotal time in Isaac's life as she captures both their shared joy, and private struggles, offering a unique perspective as both filmmaker and partner experiencing these moments firsthand. The film takes us on a deep dive into theater’s creative process and allows a rare glimpse into the fragile moments and the life back stage that quickly absorbs everyone involved.

This session will be followed by a screen talk with Director Elvira Lind.
