Roman Polanski’s adaptation of Macbeth, one of Shakespeare’s best-known plays, is known worldwide as one of the best ones. ... Unfortunately for Polanski, the lack of this quality makes the movie quite a tedious watch.
Macbeth chronicles the tale of a Scottish Thane who, prodded by a trio of mischievous witches, plots with his wife, and secretly kills the King and assumes his role. ... Eventually, it comes to light that Macbeth had a hand in the treachery and, just before he is subjected to the same fate that befell King Duncan, we see his downward spiral of deceit and betrayal.
Polanski’s adaptation of Macbeth was a fairly good one. ... Lady Macbeth is, perhaps, the most realistic character in the movie. ...
Roman Polanski’s emphasis and glaringly graphical portrayal of the violent and sexual aspects of Macbeth are an attempt to show the brutality of humanity.
