The Tragedy of Macbeth Showtimes

“The Tragedy of Macbeth” is a re-imagining of the classic Shakespeare play, presented in a black and white cinematography. The story follows the titular general and his loyal wife, who grow older with the passage of time. When an opportunity for power arises, their lives begin to unravel. As the years pass, the world around them becomes increasingly tense, and the two are ultimately torn apart.

This new adaptation of William Shakespeare’s famous tragedy features Denzel Washington as the title character, and is directed by Joel Coen. The Coen brothers have previously adapted Shakespeare’s plays for the screen, but this marks their first collaboration without their brother Ethan. The film has been praised for its surreal, pared-down approach to Shakespeare’s work.

Macbeth is a power-hungry man who receives a prophecy from witches. The witches have told him that one day, he will become King of Scotland. Macbeth is consumed by ambition, spurred on by his wife. Ultimately, he murders the king and seizes the throne for himself.
