Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal star in Chloe Zhao’s big-screen version of Maggie O’Farrell’s beloved bestseller, Hamnet, which follows the journey of grieving parents, Agnes and William Shakespeare, and how they individually find ways to cope with the aftermath of their son’s death. Co-written by O’Farrell herself, the film takes Agnes’ deep-rooted connection to the earth and William’s artistic frustrations to palpable new depths, all accompanied by a gut-wrenching soundtrack. A brilliant interplay of prose, drama, and film.

Nora Ephron, the brain behind rom-coms such as When Harry Met Sally… or You’ve Got Mail, took her own love story to the page in Heartburn—a fictionalised memoir and modern classic about her ill-fated marriage to journalist Carl Bernstein. Adapting it to the screen herself in the 1980s, Ephron’s film starring Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson is a personal account of a doomed marriage…perfect for Valentine’s month!

For those obsessed with Irish coming-of-age campus novels, March revisits the 1990s originator of the genre: Maeve Binchy’s Circle of Friends. Just like the novel, the film is packed with familiar Irish small-town qualms and life-long friendships tried and tested at college, while injecting bold energy with Minnie Driver as its heroine, Benny, who battles the trials of growing up in 1950s Ireland, falling in love, and growing into womanhood.

Possibly the most terrifying animation about bunnies ever? The animated adaptation of Richard Adams’ novel Watership Down has become the stuff of nightmares. Deceivingly innocent on the surface, the story follows a group of anthropomorphised rabbits who are forced to find a new home after their warren is destroyed by humans, turning it into a dark tale about the unforgiving sides of nature that justifies this novel as a children’s classic.

Charles Webb’s novella The Graduate gained a cult following in part thanks to its film adaptation: one of the defining films of the 1960s and one which helped usher in the American New Wave of the 1970s. Its depiction of privileged male ennui and misguided affections seems to strike a chord throughout numerous generations—watch the dubious affair of an American middle-class graduate become Oscar-winning cinema.
