Macbeth is the story of a fearless warrior and inspiring leader brought low by ambition and desire. A thrilling interpretation of the dramatic realities of the times and a reimagining of what wartime must have been like for one of literature’s most famous and compelling characters, a story of all-consuming passion and ambition set in war torn Scotland.
Reviews:
‘Shakespeare’s play is more eviscerated than adapted, in a lean, mean and powerful piece of cinema.’ Times UK
‘Marion Cotillard and Michael Fassbender excel in Justin Kurzel’s thrillingly savage interpretation of the Scottish Play.’ Variety
‘There is a lot of sound and fury in this Macbeth, but not without meaning.’ Guardian
