Macbeth

Joel Coen’s Shakespeare adaptation is a black-and-white affair starring Denzel Washington as Macbeth and Frances McDormand as Lady Macbeth. And it is a sight to behold.

The CSC’s ‘Macbeth’ moves at a brisker pace than usual for Shakespeare, and Zawe Ashton’s ‘For All the Women Who Thought They Were Mad’ focuses on racism, sexism, and madness.

At first, the musical ‘Scotland, PA’ feels like a ‘70s-set stoner comedy. Then it morphs to a stoner tragedy, mixing ‘Macbeth’ and McDonald’s. Finally, it becomes a nothing burger.

The documentary ‘Killing for Love’ chronicles the real-life case of lovers Elizabeth Haysom and Jens Soering, who brutally murdered her parents in cold blood.

In the new film ‘Lady Macbeth,’ newcomer Florence Pugh shines as a subjugated 19th century woman who exacts horrifying revenge.

The Scottish Play gets a new adaptation, also starring Marion Cotillard as Lady Macbeth.

A riotous mix of high art and low comedy, in Drunk Shakespeare, quite besides playing out Macbeth, the actors not only get blasted, but there are also Justin Bieber jokes, homages to movie blockbusters, and Matthew McConaughey’s back catalog.
