The Rogue’s Guide to Shakespeare on Film #23: Macbeth (1971)
#23: Macbeth (1971) Early on, this Roman Polanski film from 1971, the year of my birth, looks like every non-Shakespearean’s nightmare about what Shakespeare is like: forgettable characters braying gibberish that is meant to set the scene, but in essence makes us not especially want to watch the story at all. Jon Finch, our Macbeth… Continue reading

The Rogue’s Guide to Shakespeare on Film #22: Macbeth (1996)
#22. Macbeth (1996) Geoffrey Wright’s Macbeth (1996) very much looks like the 1990s when it was made. Lots of shabby European décor, retro rock instrumentals, foppish couture, and a well-oiled Bohemian sensibility at the fringes. The kingdom of Scotland is imagined as gang warfare, complete with prostitutes and drugs, in Australia. The weird sisters first appear… Continue reading
