Macbeth

We were delighted to previously screen this film but we have no current plans to screen it again. If you'd like to watch it in the cinema, consider a private hire to watch it with friends. That does rely on the film being available for private purchase.

Showings

Graphic, atmospheric, a delirious B movie from a master filmmaker

Orson Welles lush adaptation of the Scottish Play is an expressionist masterpiece about a doomed man of ordinary ambition who believes an evil prophecy that he will become King. Selected by Mark Cousins to start our weekend of dreams.

Adventurous film-making that takes risks, and full of imaginative flourishes.

Powerhouse performance from Orson Welles as the troubled Prince.
