Continue to be drawn to this character and this story. macbeth is one of shakespeare's more internal and philosophical plays, making it a naturalfit for the intimacy of cinema. we have this really intimate view of a man who is not only having his nerve endings deadened as he goes through his sort of murderous course of the play, but who is explicitly conscious about what is happening. so he's like an observer of his own process of being dehumanised, and he reflects on that consciously at the end of the play. so that extraordinary, large story arc, which is intimate and powerful and devastating...

New macbeth recently premiered is the delacorte theatre in central park, which for more than 60 years has provided free shakespeare performances for audiences. and while shakespeare is widely considered the pre—eminent master of the english language, macbeth has actually inspired its share of international adaptations. it's a special challenge to translate shakespeare's flawless dialogue into a new spoken language and a cinematic language at once. in 2003, maqbool, an adaptations set in mumbai's criminal underworld, played to appreciative audiences at both the cannes film festival and the to...

This new macbeth won some great reviews and talk of possible 0scar nominations for its leads, it was really seen as quite fine cinema. what's striking about this film is that it really turns shakespeare into something cinematic. it looks like a german expressionism film or something made by carl theodore dreyer, in the sense that you're looking at people's faces in this really striking detail up close, which is something that a lot of filmmakers, with shakespeare in general and with macbeth are afraid to do — often with soliloquies, with the monologues, you hear them in voice—over. and thi...

Known if it will be received as the definitive english—language version that cinema has thus far lacked — although some scholars think we're better off without one. with these stories that we have like macbeth, that belong to all of us, it's wonderful seeing how each generation will engage with it a fresh take but also one that hears and echoes and filters and, you know, sort of newly reads all those echoes from the ghostly past of interpretations as well. my name's macbeth! it was orson welles who famously, although perhaps a bit obviously, stated that shakespeare would have been a great ...

That featured more on—screen violence than previous iterations. it makes me sick how they use you. you do everything, they do nothing. the american independent film boom of the 19905 produced two gritty modern—day adaptations, men of respect, set in the world of organised crime, and scotland, pa, set bizarrely but effectively at a fast food restaurant in the 19705. there's a reason filmmakers continue to be drawn to this character and this story. macbeth is one of shakespeare's more internal and philosophical plays, making it a naturalfit for the intimacy of cinema. we have this really int...
