Max Richter composed the original score for Hamnet, the film by Academy Award-winning writer and director Chloé Zhao. Based on Maggie O’Farrell’s Sunday Times bestselling novel, the film reimagines the love and loss that shaped Shakespeare’s creation of Hamlet. Starring Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal, Hamnet is a lyrical exploration of family, grief, and artistic inspiration. Richter’s ethereal soundtrack moves between intimacy and grandeur, illuminating the emotional world of a story where art and life intertwine.
