KING HAMLET

NYC PREMIERE While preparing to play Hamlet in an intense NYC production, actor Oscar Isaac learns that his mother has fallen ill with an aggressive cancer—at the same time he and partner, filmmaker Elvira Lind, are imminently expecting their firstborn. As Elvira’s camera quietly captures Oscar at rehearsal, at home, and with extended family, her observations become a meditation on love, grief, and the porous boundary between performance and private life—as Oscar shapes his very personal take on the legendary Prince of Denmark. - Jaie Laplante

The screening will be preceded by an introduction by Elvira Lind, Oscar Isaac, and Sam Gold.

All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
