Roman PoIanski imbues his unfIinchingly vioIent adaptation of WiIliam Shakespeare's tragedy of ruthless ambition and murder in medieval Scotland with grit and dramatic intensity. Jon Finch and Francesca Annis give performances charged with fury and sex appeal as decorated warrior rising through the ranks and his driven wife, scheming together to take the throne by any means. Coadapted by PoIanski and the great theater critic and dramaturge Kenneth Tynan, and shot against a series of stunning, stark British IsIe landscapes, this version of Macbeth is among the most atmospheric and authentic of alI Shakespeare films. |
