Unique Adaption

This was an interesting take on an old tale.

I will be the first to admit that this won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I would suggest it does take some basic, if not more than basic knowledge of the play however, otherwise I think it would be easy to become lost.

The acting was excellent and the use of music and imagery was spot on.

This story has been told many different ways, and this one was entertaining to watch.

Bad Production!

I’m only 10 mins in and I just can’t watch this. The whole production feels like a mediocre college project. I know they probably had a small budget, but surely it could have been used more effectively. While some of the actors in this have been good in other projects they have worked on I feel like the direction, cinematography, casting and music selection are all poor resulting in a production of Macbeth that leaves us all under a curse.

MacBetter than the Travesty of MacBeth

I applaud Angus MacFadyen to the very echo which applauds again for giving us a MacBeth worth watching. First one since Polanski’s tenebrous take back in 1971. Polanski used that as a vehicle to exorcize his Cielo demons. It was a masterpiece, true, but one that lacked the ability to laugh at itself. Same goes for Apple’s the Travesty of MacBeth from earlier this year with Denzel. No, it wasn’t a masterpiece, not even close. Tons of style and cat’s grave seriousness, but a soupcon of substance and a profound lack of humor. Execrable performances by usually dependable big-time actors in that turgid tripe-fest. Back to the Curse of MacBeth, which is its own splendid, bloody brilliant beast. It’s in beat with the times. Spot on with the zeitgeist. The political bent brought to mind the first Omen. The limousine scenes reminded me of Delillo’s Cosmopolis some. The chiaroscuro painted drives through dystopias best viewed through a kaleidoscope before colliding with that inevitable dead end. The modern take here is brave in its newness. Reimagined and reclothed, yet it bears the ancient essence of Shakey’s original. MacFadyen compliments the viewer’s intelligence by giving them enough space to bring in their own imaginations, interpretations, imprecations and illumination. There’s no dumbing it down here. In that regard it goes against the grain of the times and is more in tune with good old Shakey. Music and mood are hand in glove and propel the plot along wickedly. The witches are cream-faced loons waiting for the devil to damn them black. They aren’t cartoonish or Halloweeny. They are straight up, or down if you wish, hellkites. It was awfully good to see Olivia Maxwell as one of them. She cuts a willowy silhouette. I should hope she lands a lead role soon. She has a way of catching the eye and holding it captive for a while. Taylor Roberts is a star in the making. More fair than foul and perfectly cast as Lady MacBeth with her scotch and milk complexion and eyes deep enough to drown in. Harry Lennix is palpably intense while also being unintentionally funny and has the firm-nerved, itchy trigger finger energy of a young Samuel L. Jackson (think Pulp Fiction). As for MacFadyen, who plays the titular character in a more visceral way than his predecessors have done (most latch on to the cerebral and lose purchase on the equipoise and layers; see Denzel in the rotten Apple take), well, he steals the show, much like he did in Season 2 of Strange Angel as the Great Beast, Aleister Crowley. I do believe Mr. Crowley would grade his performance as both lead actor and director a 93 out of 100! This one is full of sound and fury, but this time it signifies something and is not told by an idiot. Bravo to all responsible!
