Independent Cinema for Everyone

Nikolai Leskov’s Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk is relocated to 19th-century England, in this Gothic tale. Rooted in Northumberland, Katherine finds herself childless and friendless, stifled by her new marriage to a man twice her age who refuses to consummate his marriage or even let her out the house. Left alone when her husband is called away on business, she embarks on an affair with a handsome stable-hand while her increasingly worried maid watches on. A new force is unleashed inside of her, one so powerful that she will stop at nothing to get what she wants...

Dir. William Oldroyd, UK, 2016, 89 mins.
