Hamnet

Stratford-Upon-Avon, late 16th century. The young Agnes and William - she a healer, he a writer - fall head over heels for each other, despite the different worlds in which they grew up and their divergent characters. When fate strikes, their built-up life is completely turned upside down. Terwijl William seeks refuge in writing what he thinks will be his magnum opus - Hamlet - Agnes falls into a hopeless black hole. Commentaar Een new film by Chloé Zhao (Nomadland), that sounds like music to the ears of every film lover. And rightly so, because Hamnet has already proven to be a phenomenon at various film festivals, and is tipped as one of the big contenders at the upcoming Oscars. A fictionalized historical drama about the life of William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal), the relationship with his wife Agnes (a top role for Jessie Buckley) and the painful events that led to the creative process of one of the most famous literary works of all time, the tragedy Hamlet. Based on the book of the same name and at least just as popular by the North-Ierse Maggie O'Farrell.
