IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT, YET! YOU'RE DOING YOURSELF A DISSERVICE! HANDS DOWN THE BEST MACBETH FILM TO DATE!
MACBETH'S SOLILOQUY "TOMORROW AND TOMORROW" IN ACT V SC V this is the crescendo (chef's kiss) when Macbeth realises he's zero forks & knives left to give. Now, Sir Patrick Stewart started his career in the Royal Shakespeare Company, and is a master of Shakespeare by any means but I was still blown away by this performance. He delivered this role immaculately!
But, the true star of the show was Kate Fleetwood as Lady Macbeth, (yes...I know, imagine upstaging Sir Patrick Stewart!) Her deliverance of the sleepwalking scene literally sent chills down my spine!!!
I would give a notable mention to, ACT IV SCENE III (Speech by Macduff) Michael Feast's emotion - okay I bawled and cried! That was masterful!
And excuse me but the three sisters with their modern version of "songs of the witches" Did I catch a hint of Dubstep? Who knew Shakespeare would remix well with Dubstep? You Do You! That was a stroke of Sheer dumb luck and it was genius how it just worked!
The scenery being entirely filmed inside Welbeck Abbey and in the underground labyrinth. Added a chilling ambience to the whole contemporary take.
I cannot fault this! 10/10.
