Film
The Tragedy of Macbeth (15)
Dir. Joel Coen, 2021, USA, 105 mins. Cast. Denzel Washington, Frances McDormand, Brendan Gleeson.
Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand star in Joel Coen’s bold and fierce adaptation of the Scottish play; a tale of murder, madness, ambition, and wrathful cunning. Shakespeare’s iconic and much adapted text gets a wonderfully fresh and singular reworking. Conjuring a beguiling nether-world between theatre and cinema, this is a stunning production, shot in silvery 4:3 monochrome, with near-expressionistic sets and a spellbinding score. Driving the action is an extraordinary cast that’s capped by British theatre legend Kathryn Hunter’s contortionist take on the Witches. Electrifying!
