Under Milk Wood (2015 film)

Under Milk Wood is a 2015 British drama film directed by Kevin Allen, based on the 1954 radio drama Under Milk Wood by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. The film stars Rhys Ifans as Captain Cat, a blind sea captain who narrates the dreams and inner thoughts of the inhabitants of the fictional Welsh seaside village of Llareggub.

The film attempts to capture the essence of Thomas's language and the vibrant, often eccentric, lives of the villagers. It utilizes a non-linear narrative structure, moving between the dreamscapes of the characters and their waking lives.

The production features a predominantly Welsh cast and was filmed on location in Wales. The film aims to provide a visual interpretation of the radio play, offering a contemporary perspective on Thomas's iconic work. While staying true to the original text, the film also incorporates modern elements to resonate with a wider audience.
