Macbeth (1971)

Is Roman Polanski’s Macbeth a good film and out of four stars how you would rate it?

Shakespeare’s most heinous villain gets the royal treatment in director Roman Polanski’s evocative 1971 version of one of literature’s greatest dramas. Jon Finch plays the Thane of Cawdor, and Francesca Annis matches him step for conniving step as the scheming Lady Macbeth. All in all, this version of Macbeth ranks as a worthy addition to the Bard’s cinematic canon.

It is good. I prefer on stage versions to film versions, but it certainly does a good job of presenting the story.
