Tonight Sally and I went to the Palace Pentridge Cinema to see Joel Coen's new film The Tragedy Of Macbeth, which was written by Coen based on William Shakespeare's play Macbeth. It stars Denzel Washington as Macbeth and Frances McDormand as Lady Macbeth and they put in incredible performances along with all the other actors in the cast.
The film is shot in black and white and the cinematography and brutalist architecture of the set really add to the tension and drama of the scenes and actors emerge from shadows into the light. It took a bit to get my brain into the rhythm of iambic pentameter at the start, but then I could just sit back an enjoy this adaptation.
