关于此电影

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!

评分和评价

The best version of "Macbeth" on film because it is clearly audible (not mumbled) and has nuance and complexity (Macbeth is conflicted not just a homicidal lunatic from the start). You have to want to watch a Shakespeare film though - beware those who give this low ratings just because it has Shakespearean language.

I could've bought myself a kebab with that $8. Instant regrets.

Worst $8 spent
