Will (Jimmy Levar) is a New York advertising executive on the verge of
netting a big deal - when suddenly his life refuses to make sense anymore.
Everywhere he sees weird symbols that seem to suggest something, people
start talking in repetitive, essentially senseless patterns, and he seems
to be drawn to a mysterious woman, Ophelia (Christina Chu-Ryan), whom he
has never met and who he doesn't even know is real, but who he thinks he's
in love with. So he gives up everything, even ignores his boss's (Ben
Runyan) constant calls, just to find her, starting from a photo he has
actually puked out himself. Eventually he learns that Ophelia has been in
a car accident many years ago and has been in a coma ever since - and once
he finds out at which hospital she's at he also learns her life support is
to be turned off this very day, so if he wants to finally connect with
her, he better hurry ... Though this is a film full of suspense
routines and scare tactics, this is hardly your routine thriller, as in
both styler and storytelling, Finding Ophelia leans heavily towards
the absurd and the surreal, but at the same time manages to keep its
narrative thread relatable throughout, making this one a very otherworldly
experience, carried by beautiful camerawork and grounded by a strong
central performance by Jimmy Levar. Well worth a watch, but better prepare
yourself for something different.
