Directed by Roman Polanski, The Tragedy of Macbeth stars Jon Finch and Francesca Annis in a dark adaptation of William Shakespeares classic tragedy. After receiving a prophecy from three witches, the Scottish nobleman Macbeth embarks on a ruthless path toward power, ambition and murder. The film combines historical drama, psychological conflict and supernatural elements in one of the most acclaimed screen versions of Shakespeares play. Criterion Collection Roman Polanski imbues his unflinchingly violent adaptation of William Shakespeares tragedy of ruthless ambition and murder in medieval Scotland with grit and dramatic intensity. Jon Finch and Francesca Annis give performances charged with fury and sex appeal as a decorated warrior rising through the ranks and his driven wife, scheming together to take the throne by any means. Coadapted by Polanski and the great theater critic and dramaturge Kenneth Tynan, and shot against a series of stunning, stark British Isle landscapes, this version of Macbeth is among the most atmospheric and authentic of all Shakespeare films.
