Trevor Nunns film of William Shakespeares tragedy of ambition & witchcraft attempts to recreate his acclaimed 1976 staging of the play. Ian Mc Kellen & Judi Dench play the ambitious pair who murder their way to the Scottish throne. Nunns film retains the spare, simple look of his stage production, using contemporary costumes & a bare, circular stage to focus attention on the intense imagery of the plays language. The result is an unusual & spellbinding retelling of a classic tale.
