La tragedia de Macbeth - Comentarios

Stark but utterly compelling, this chilling take on Macbeth is a visually stunning tour de force.

The film has a cold, abstract beauty.

...there's real resonant power in all that sound and fury: a tragedy stripped back and reborn once again...

...hits its stride immediately with a taut, athletic urgency and it contains some superb images...

En snygg och kreativ teateruppsättning.

Denzel Washington och Frances McDormand gör här sina livs roller som paret MacBeth.

...en artistisk film, späckad av begåvning på alla filmens konstnärsområden.

...visst passar även den här tragedin in i varumärket Coen.

...en fängslande, dov och hotfull dramatisering som ändå bär Coens unika prägel.

...et uforligneligt studie af menneskets afmægtighed, når det giver sig i kast med dunkle kræfter.

Stark and severe, with a level of artistry rarely achieved in movies, this black-and-white tragedy may be the best 'Macbeth' ever made, and it's certainly one of the best-ever Shakespeare adaptations.

The film is as cold and weird and lucid as a waking dream, shot in a pristine, magnesium-bright monochrome, and situated on stark, angular sets that melt into abstraction as they approach the edges of the near-square screen.
