It does not have the bugs of the Orson Welles version. Polanski's everlasting bitterness without exaggeration. Rebellious but not the best.
The absolute best adaptation of Macbeth
Polanski adds a twist on the play, using voiceover omnisciently to suggest Macbeth may be a symptom of evil but evil lives on.
Polanski uses the text very well! A thoroughly good adaptation
Great visualization of William Shakespeare’s classic novel.
Mcduff, more like Mcbuff. I mean damn is that a dagger I see before me or a I’m i happy to see him.
Not as stylized as some newer adaptations, but still the definitive version due to its fidelity to the source material and strong acting.
Really dated and over the top in 2024. Tried to capture the magic of the stage and failed.
Stole the plot from one of those old playwrights can’t remember who he was called though
Probably the best adaptation of Macbeth put to film
