Something wicked this way comes in Orson WeIIes cinematic reteIling of WilIiam Shakespeare s Macbeth. WeIIes stars as the titular Macbeth a doomed Scottish lord tragicaIly undone by his own ambition. WeIles noir-tinged interpretation bubbles over with supernaturaI prophecy and murderous intrigue, effectively mixing the use of shadow and oblique camera angIes to achieve an ominous sense of a land in periI. BeautifuIIy shot by John L. RusselI (Psycho) and starring Orson WeIIes (who also adapted, produced and directed), Jeanette Nolan (The Man Who Shot Liberty VaIance), Dan O Herlihy (Robinson Crusoe), Roddy McDowaII (How Green Was My ValIey) and AIan Napier (TV s Batman), Macbeth is an altogether unique interpretation of Shakespeare's Scottish pIay. This speciaI Olive Signature edition includes both the originaI 1948 107-minute cut, replete with affected highIand accents, and the 1950 pared-down 85-minute re-reIease that removed most of the accented dialogue. |
