Ou final three films before the summer will be:
Saturday 16th May, 8pm
Hamnet
UK 2025, 120 minutes, cert 12
Directed by Chloe Zhao, Starring Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal
A film that needs little introduction following its huge critical, box office and Awards season success, Zhao’s sensitive, lush and powerful drama is an adaptation of Maggie O’Farrel’s novel of the same name, which imagined the origins of Hamlet as a response to the death of Shakespeare’s 11 year old son.
In late sixteenth century Warwickshire, Agnes is a woman slightly on the margins of society, rumoured to have special powers, intuitively connected to nature, with knowledge of herbal medicines and healing. Into her world comes William, an aspiring writer tutoring Latin; the two form a swift and passionate connection, marrying in spite of resistance from their families. Shortly after, the children arrive: Susannah followed a few years later by twins Hamnet and Judith.
Agnes is a devoted, attentive, natural mother although terrified that something will happen to Judith who had appeared to be stillborn at birth. Theirs is a happy, joyful, playful family life although William is enormously frustrated by his apprenticeship to his father’s glove making business. They agree that he must travel to London to pursue his career as a playwright. Then, the plague comes, bringing unbearable tragedy to the family. What follows is a contemplation on grief, marriage and the redemptive powers of art, swooningly beautiful, tender and poignant, with exceptional lead performances, especially from Buckley, who scooped all the major awards for her incandescent portrayal of a mother learning to live through inconceivable loss.
