A masterpiece! The eerie, foreboding tone of the film seeps into every element, from the lighting to the sound to the actors themselves. Masterful performances coupled with artistic adherence to the source material makes for a haunting and magnetic film.

The Tragedy of Macbeth is so damn good I’m not even going to question the logic, or lack thereof, of an African-American eleventh-century Scottish nobleman.

Then again, Laurence Olivier and Orson Welles both played Othello, and if Denzel Washington isn’t in the same league as those two, he’ More
