Purists beware, Roman Polanski and Kenneth Tynan have chop, rearranged, and shaped Shakespeare’s material to design a MOVIE! And what a tall film they created. Flowingly cinematic, with lovely position filming and honorable cinematography the many cuts allow for a peaceful narration without sacrificing the gut and heart of the play.
There was remarkable controversy when this film debuted, probably due to it being financed and produced by Hugh Hefner and Playboy, and probably because it was unblinkingly bloody upfront (although the blood is in the play, considerable of it is naturally offstage), and because of nudity in several key scenes (including the witches….all those passe nude crones, while factually just, no doubt upset many) . Today, these seem like perfectly reasonable choices. The film is relentless and remorseless, as befits the yarn. I don’t know what share of Polanski’s personal tragedy had any piece in his work here, but the direction is agreeable. Finch and Anis are glowing as the murderous Laird and his Lady, as is the rest of the cast.
If you want the play, peruse the play. If you want a stimulating and fully realized CINEMATIC treatment of Shakespeare’s substantial themes of greed, ambition, cancel, guilt and destiny, notice this finely produced, directed, and acted work. Well worthwhile.
Please ignore the poorly plan out review on this page. Anyone with either a passing interest in Shakespeare or an appreciation of film should witness this out now. Polanski, avoiding the trap so many other filmmakers plunge into, makes a film based on Macbeth, not merely recording a performance of the play. He has crafted a breathlessly paced film, making very reasonable cuts in the text in order to bring the film in under 2½ hours. I have seen noteworthy longer versions that had no retract of the play at all.

Polanski also wisely chose not to exercise notorious stars for the major roles; instead utilizing some of the best (and youngest) British stage actors of the time. Jon Finch and Francesca Annis perfectly prefer the most emotionally wrenched marriage ever, without the moustache twirling that finds its arrangement into Shakespeare film adaptations too often. This film is dismal, muddy, and violent; it is not intended for children. I have to retract that the people who complain about the violence in the film have never actually read the play. And I hope, for the sake of their believe sanity, they steer certain of Titus Andronicus, Richard III, Julius Caesar, Othello, and if beheadings effect a bee in your bonnet, beware Cymbeline!
… This is a raw, passionate telling of one of the spacious fictional works in the English language, by one of the mountainous filmmakers of our time. But wait for the wide-screen DVD.
