| Showings |
A Scottish lord becomes convinced by a trio of witches that he will become the next King of Scotland, and his ambitious wife supports him in his plans of seizing power.
It’s stage-bound in all the right ways, reminiscent of a much earlier cinema, when film makers barely stepped outdoors and wielded magic with shadow and light on soundstages. It’s short, sharp and savage.
★★★★★
Combines the sparseness of a late career work with the back-to-basics energy of a veteran filmmaker starting a new chapter of their career, and returning to the primordial ooze that inspired it in the first place
★★★★
A “Macbeth” that is sure to seduce audiences – one that, for all its darkness of import, is light-spirited, fleet, and intoxicating.
