Macbeth, 1971
English
UK, USA
Profile of Macbeth
Macbeth can be described as bleak, atmospheric, and captivating. The plot revolves around blind ambition, a royal family, and a tragic hero. The main genres are drama and period. In approach, Macbeth is serious. The storytelling is slow paced. It is set, at least in part, in a palace, castle, or temple. Macbeth is located in Scotland and England. It takes place in the middle ages. It is adapted from a play. Macbeth has received attention for being critically acclaimed.
Summary of Macbeth
William Shakespeare's immortal play about a Scottish warrior (Jon Finch) whose wife's lust for power transforms him into inhuman monster is given it's rawest, most brutal screen treatment in this version by Roman Polanski (ROSEMARY'S BABY, CHINATOWN). Filmed in suitably bleak locales and imbued with nudity not usually seen in the works of Shakespeare--along with realistically gory murders--this MACBETH is singular and sensational, but is not for the young or faint of heart.
