Justine loves Sade. And Justine is out of control . . .
Set in a world of inner-city grunge bars and clubs, kinky sex, drug-taking and desperation, 'The River Ophelia' explores the uncharted waters of female desire, where the roles of victim and victimised blur and shift. Both an homage to and subversion of de Sade's 'Justine' and Shakespeare's 'Hamlet', this uncompromising love story is an explicit account of sexual obsession and violence.
