'Hamnet:' Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley tell story of Shakespeare's Family Tragedy
William Shakespeare has been portrayed many times on screen over the years - but the British made film 'Hamnet', directed by Chloe Zhao, might be the most modern representation of the Bard yet.
Based on the bestselling novel by Maggie O'Farrell, 'Hamnet' is the story of how Shakespeare's play 'Hamlet' may have been inspired by grief at the childhood death of his son.
Irish actors Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley play Shakespeare and his wife Agnes, or Anne, Hathaway, and as Talking Movie's Emma Jones reports, the film is part of this season's Oscar race.
