Hamnet director Chloe Zhao has said she has a “very personal” connection with Ireland and that the film has “some energy” from the country, while speaking at the 2026 Bafta film awards.
The hit film took home two gongs at this year’s ceremony and showcases Irish talent, having been adapted from author Maggie O’Farrell’s award-winning novel and starring actors Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal.
