Roman Polanski presents his nightmarish vision of Shakespeare's classic tragedy about the lust for power-and its bloody consequences. Jon Finch is Macbeth, the Scottish war hero whose insane ambitionunleashes a cycle of violence. Prompted by the supernatural prophecy of three witches, Macbeth is goaded by his Lady (Francesca Annis) into slaying King Duncan (Nicholas Selby) and assuming his throne. Macbeth plunges further into murder and moral decay to keep the unsteady crown on his head. Whilehis wife crumbles away in guilt and madness, the haunted Macbeth fights to prevent another dark forecast which may doom him. Filmed in rugged North Wales, Polanski's MACBETH is a tale told by a master, full of sound and fury-and genius!

The most atmospheric Macbeth. At one and the same time, convincingly "Medieval" and "Shakespearean". There are moments that stay in the memory long after viewing...such as the hanging by chain of Cawdor, the dream scene of Macbeth. It is filmed like a dream, and just works. Martin Shaw is also marvelous as Banquo.
