MACBETH Special Screenings

Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard and Justin Kurzel have come together to create a visually arresting, formally daring and thematically challenging adaptations of Shakespeare’s bewitched classic.  With startling, haunting images and the specter of death looming over its every frame, the film follows King Macbeth (Fassbender) across the killing fields of battle and his Lady Macbeth (Cotillard) through the duplicitous halls of power as both come to grips with horrific betrayal. The creative team pulls off this adaptation with meticulous attention to detail, none more so than in the mud-caked production design of the bleak Scottish isles. MACBETH is a singular, visionary work of art, with a mad, cursed cast of characters from the lowest gutters to the gilded aristocracy. –Lane Kneedler
