Oscar Isaac and his wife, director Elvira Lind (Bobbie Jene), made a splash in Copenhagen on Wednesday evening with the international premiere of King Hamlet at the 23rd edition of the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, or  CPH:DOX, followed by a warm Q&A with the hometown crowd.

Lind’s film, which she shot a decade ago, is a deeply personal portrait of her actor husband as he tackles what the documentary describes as “the most difficult role of his life” — playing Hamlet at New York’s Public Theater. The film captures Isaac navigating the demands of the role while also expecting his first child with Lind and grieving the recent loss of his mother.
