Rating: 8/10
Fantastic adaptation of Shakespeare's iconic tragedy, Justin Kurzel's
drama is a stunning and well-crafted epic, featuring some unforgettable
performances from Marion Cotillard, Paddy Considine, Sean Harris and of
course, Michael Fassbender in the role of the savage tyrant, Macbeth.
Joining the other great Shakespearean masters such as Olivier and
Branagh, Kurzel has created a brutal and ambitious depiction, caught by
the awe-inspiring cinematography of Adam Arkapaw. Featuring glorious
locations across the bleak and wintery Highlands of Scotland, 'Macbeth'
is a film adaptation that even the great playwright himself would be
proud of.
