Oscar Isaac and his wife, director Elvira Lind, have premiered their documentary, King Hamlet, at the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, or CPH:DOX. The film, which was shot a decade ago, is a deeply personal portrait of Isaac as he navigates "the most difficult role of his life" playing Hamlet at New York's Public Theater. It captures Isaac navigating the demands of the role while also expecting his first child with Lind and grieving the recent loss of his mother.
