Genre: drama
Duration: 2h 5min
England, 1580. 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 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.
“A delicate exploration of how art can address (but never fully heal) personal pain, “Hamnet” is a potent love story anchored by Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal’s expertly modulated performances. Where other films reduce the act of creation to a simplistic cause-and-effect scenario, “Hamnet” far more profoundly investigates how love and art shift in intensity and clarity over time.”

In addition, we invite everyone to visit the exhibition, On Fragile Grounds. Sirje Runge and Light, at the Kai Art Center on the same day. Sirje Runge is one of the central figures of Estonian postwar art. The exhibition traces Runge’s lifelong exploration of light, color, and perception, from her geometric experiments of the 1970s to recent large-scale projects, and reconstructs her pioneering teaching practice.
If you visit both the cinema and the exhibition on the same day, you will receive a discount (15/10). The gallery is open until 6pm, so if you wish to also visit the exhibition, please visit come before the screening.
