Released in 1986, Sophie's Place is a notable film directed by Lawrence Jordan.

What it’s about. Five years in the making, Lawrence Jordan's feature-length "alchemical autobiography" Sophie's Place takes as its inspiration the story of the Greek goddess of wisdom, Sophia. Writes Jordan, "I must emphasize that I do not know the exact significance of any of the symbols in the film any more than I know the meaning of my dreams... I hope that the symbols and the episodes set off poetic associations in the viewer. I mean them to be entirely open to the viewer's own interpretation."

How it landed. With an audience score of 4.5/10, Sophie's Place has proved divisive with audiences.
