Review of Macbeth

ShakespeaRe-Told: Macbeth (2005)
Season 1, Episode 2
New skin, same story
12 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Experiment, not really brilliant.

New skin, same story about power and lies, fear and murder.

Poor man and huge ambition. And signs voices.

Same questions about truth and desire. But same answer, too? The price and his limits is the essential problem of every age, every land.

"Macbeth" is my favorite Shakespeare's play and this movie is form of revelation of great values of every time. The tension and location, the fever of gestures are expression of universal crisis in a society. It is not an actualization of an old play but a form of revelation, in new images, of values and hope.

In fact, the film is expression of the power's fragility - blood of ambiguous time and strong gesture. And about the fall of silence.

Subject is Greek tragedy's taste and mud sky, end of fake victory and strange glory of chimeric desire.

Amber desire in the nightmare's steps, that is definition of this movie's atmosphere. Age of petrification and rest of slow honor. Desire like only truth of a very small world.

Night. Desire. Murder.

Final gesture - form of vain salvation.
