Surprisingly of high quality.
I know that this is Polanski’s work, but outside of The Pianist (2002) I’m not a fan.
I guess, I have found out another movie I actually enjoyed from him, but only thanks to a suggestion of a subscriber Barry Lyndon who commented on the Lancelot of the Lake (1974) clip. - thank you again for the suggestion.
I have got to say, I didn’t expect it to actually be this good. Moderate gore, certainly not even cartoonish as would be common in other movies of that era, which in 1971 must have been quite shocking. TBH, I wouldn’t be surprised if many would still find this quite shocking today, especially the decapitation scene.
Same goes for the action scenes, certainly not as cartoonish as was quite common in that era.
There is still a comedy element to it I must say, but nowhere near as bad as expected.
Now, I have to admit, as none British person, I have only heard of Macbeth before, but had no idea what the story was about. To my surprise, very captivating and with lessons to be learned.
I also liked the poetry style of speeches of the characters - same like in the books, I presume.
It certainly has its charm.
Since, I have Looked into more modern version of Macbeth (2015), even staring one of my favourite actors Michael Fassbender, but I have to honestly say that Polanski’s version is a lot better on every level.
Between this one and the Pianist, I wouldn’t be able to say which one is Polanski’s magnus opus to date.
I could honestly recommend this movie to all. It might not be your genre, but I’m sure it will be still interesting enough to keep you entertained till the end.
