‘What’s in a name? the doomed Juliet asks Romeo in a little play by William Shakespeare you may have heard of?
‘Though a different fragment of that text appears in Chloé Zhao’s England-set Hamnet, which just closed the British Film Festival before opening nationally on 15 January, the idea of nominative determinism howls through this heartsore film like wind in the woods.
‘Adapted from Maggie O’Farrell’s historical fiction of the same name, with the author as co-writer, Hamnet underlines that names matter. They tie us to our families, for better or worse, sometimes saddling us with fates beyond our control. All have layers of deeper meaning.
‘So there’s a chill in the air, as an opening intertitle announces that, during the 16th century, given names were often interchangeable.’ Read more …
