The Tragedy of Macbeth - Recensies

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

The film has a cold, abstract beauty.

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

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

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

En snygg och kreativ teateruppsättning.

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

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

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

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

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.

...the technical virtuosity on display marks this as the work of a master.
