#74: “Hamnet” (2025) & the Full Moon
This week your host Elise Hernke watched Chloe Zhao’s “Hamnet” (2025) starring Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal. Based on the novel of the same name, this follows the famous William Shakespeare up until the writing of his tragedy “Hamlet” but largely from the perspective of his family who he leaves behind in the countryside in order to pursue his writing career.
It’s a sweeping, breathtaking and heart wrenching narrative about love, loss and man’s connection to each other through art and their connection to themselves through nature.
