‘It's so far from your reality because I didn't know anybody and
I was an immigrant’

Anita Rani speaks to the Beijing-born director Chloé Zhao about
her career and her latest film, Hamnet.

Zhao made history in 2021 when, at the age of just 39, she became
the first woman of colour - and, at the time, only the second
woman ever - to win the best director award at the Oscars.

Now, just five years after her Oscars triumph for Nomadland, Zhao
is making headlines once again as the director of the
critically-acclaimed movie Hamnet, a dramatisation about the son
of the English playwright William Shakespeare. It won two Golden
Globe awards, including one for ‘Best Drama Movie’, and has
recently been nominated for 8 Academy Awards too.
