Title: Excellent Rendition Of The Play
Review: Out of the two great versions of MACBETH that I've seen, Orson Welles' and Roman Polanski's, I prefer Polanski's version. Polanski brilliantly adapted the play to the silver screen. MACBETH is an eerie, brutal, suspenseful, thought-provoking film. Many complaints can be heard concerning an unnecessary level of violence in the film. They are untrue. The brutality of the film only strengthens the points made in Shakespeare's play, the central ideas of betrayal and revenge. Polanski's MACBETH is a legendary piece of work.
