YOUNG WERTHER
Werther, a charmingly irresponsible and passionate young man, falls hopelessly in love with the alluring Charlotte, who is soon to be married to the impressive Albert — a man Werther both admires and detests. As the lovesick Werther grapples with his intense and conflicting feelings, he spirals into a pit of despair, determined to call Charlotte his. Funny, endearing, and highly emotional, Young Werther is a contemporary adaptation of Goethe's smash-hit 18th century novel The Sorrows of Young Werther. José Lourenço’s cleverly adapted screenplay explores the ever-relevant themes of unrequited love and complicated friendship in this poignant take on an old romantic comedy. Canadian actress Allison Pill and Douglas Booth have a chemistry that brings this take classic comedic tale of unrequited love to life. 101 minutes
