Hamnet + Recorded Q&A with Chloe Zhao, Jessie Buckley & Maggie O'Farrell
‘It’s a story of metamorphosis’ - Chloé Zhao Take yourself to the cinema to heal January blues with Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet starring the brilliant Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal. In partnership with Universal UK and select cinemas, you can watch the film together with a special Reclaim The Frame recorded Q&A, in which we spoke with the director Chloé Zhao, writer Maggie O’Farrell and actor Jessie Buckley about their experience of bringing Agnes’s story to life on screen, the restorative power of nature, the grief and joy of it all. 1580 England. Impoverished Latin tutor William Shakespeare meets free-spirited Agnes, and the pair, captivated by one another, strike up a torrid affair that leads to marriage and three children. Yet as Will pursues a budding theatre career in far-away London, Agnes anchors the domestic sphere alone. When tragedy strikes, the couple’s once-unshakable bond is tested, but their shared experience sets the stage for the creation of Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, Hamlet. From Focus Features and Academy Award® winning filmmaker Chloé Zhao (Nomadland, The Rider) comes a sensitively observed, magnificently crafted tale about the complexities of love and the healing power of art and creativity. Reclaim The Frame is a charity that champions marginalised perspectives in cinema, connecting with audiences and communities through special screenings and events across the UK. Reclaim The Frame events create a space to discuss what's under the surface of each story.
