Why watch this film?
Simplifying, 'Ophelia' is a retelling of Shakespeare's classic 'Hamlet', told from the perspective of the titular character, with a screenplay by acclaimed Emmy-nominated Semi Chellas ('Mad Men') and direction by Claire McCarthy ('The Luminaries'). Featuring a star-studded cast led by Daisy Ridley ('Star Wars: The Force Awakens'), Naomi Watts ('The Impossible'), Clive Owen ('Children of Men'), George MacKay ('The True History of Ned Kelly') and Tom Felton ('Harry Potter'), it's a movie with some plot flaws but whose feminist-lensed approach is fascinating and gives more depth to a classic character that otherwise would usually be nothing more than an accessory.

The Colour Room
A period biographical drama inspired by the life of Clarice Cliff, a woman who revolutionized the ceramics industry in 1920s Great Britain and, in the process, became a feminist icon. 'The Colour Room' tells the story of the protagonist (played by Phoebe Dynevor of 'Bridgerton' in her first film), from when she started as a factory worker to when she broke through the glass ceiling with her artistic vision for ceramics. It's a conventional drama and in some moments its television-crafted manufacture is evident, but Dynevor's performance, alongside her co-stars Matthew Goode ('The Last Night') and David Morrissey ('My Name is John Lennon'), lift it up, making it an enjoyable and inspiring movie.

The Peasants
The Peasants is an animated film by the same directors of Loving Vincent, using the same innovative technique, which could be described as "oil-painted rotoscopy". Based on the Nobel Prize-winning novel The Peasants (1904) by Władysław Reymont, it's a tale of desire and revenge told in four episodes, one for each season of the year. The story, set in Poland at the turn of the 20th century, follows a young peasant woman who wreaks havoc by marrying an older, wealthy man, whose son also desires her, despite being married. It is a powerful and bleak, although conventional tale about violence and misogyny, somewhat overshadowed by its beautiful and prodigious visual execution.
