For more than 400 years Macbeth assassinates on the theater stages of the world. Also in the cinema has left its trail of blood Shakespeare’s power-hungry rulers, such as the adaptations of Orson Welles (1947), Akira Kurasawa and Roman Polanski (1971). Do we need as a new film version?

After all, the image strong, emotional interpretation of the Australian Justin Kurzel with the charismatic stars Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard as Prince Couple gripping. Namely, the director leaves his “Macbeth” at the facilities in the Middle Ages, however, the film acts as an interpretation of the fighting in the Middle East with their merciless warriors.

In the pale scenarios Kurzel shows dramatically-directly what the war makes with men. The battle of Macbeth and his faithful Banquo (Paddy Considine) emerge victorious is to experience in full brutality: In-inhospitable barren highlands nature, wrapped in cold and fog, sting roaring soldiers from each other. Macbeth’s ambitious wife goads him to continue. Benevolent King Duncan (David Thewlis) should he kill to itself to be according to the prophecy of three witches King – and Queen

During a crime, the other entails , the eponymous hero always megalomaniac and fanatical is: “From scorpions fully my mind,” he tells his wife. The other hand seek the demons of their iniquity. Kurzel also plays the role of misguided religiosity to: The self-confidence of the couple in his respected as divinely ordained position stands in contrast to his Prime Evils bustle
