Starring Michael Fassbinder and Marion Cotillard
From director Justin Kurzel and the producers of “The King’s Speech” comes a thrilling take on the classic tale. Kurzel’s big-screen “Macbeth” is all blood and ice, a stirring, unflinching retelling of Shakespeare’s tale of a Scottish thane (Academy Award nominee, Michael Fassbender), his ambitious wife (Academy Award nominee, Marion Cotillard) and a terrible deed that haunts them, leaving their hands forever stained.
This visually stunning adaptation is faithful to the source material without sacrificing its own cinematic flair, rising on the strength of a mesmerizing Fassbender and cosmically powerful performance by Cotillard to join the upper echelon of big-screen Shakespeare adaptations, standing alongside the iconic Welles, Kurosawa and Polanski Macbeths. Shot in Scotland and England, on rugged heaths and barren beaches, the stylized yet raw film pulses with blockbuster battle scenes and spine-tingling staging: spare, savage and brilliant.
Rated R. 113 Minutes
