The premises remains what can expect from a new version of Macbeth. Sure, for me, to see Denzel Washington, Frances McDormand or Brendan Gleeson in the roles who I know. To discover the vision of Joel Coen about the Shakespeare's play . To expect , in fact, nothing , because what can be said was , in wise, brilliant and precise manner said by previous adaptations ?
The result - impressed by cinematography , having new proof about the admirable artistic skills of Denzel Washington, the precise portrait of lady Macbeth created by Frances McDormant, beautiful Banquo of Bertie Carvel ( maybe, too much make up )
Brilliant - off course- for the flavors of old BBC adaptations, for the illusion of animation in few scenes, for black and white clash , for a Macbeth, Seyton, Angus and Macduff in dark skin and the thought to an Othello acted by an Albino actor.
Admirable for cinematographic solutions and for the certitude than Denzel Washington deserves his Macbeth with high measure. Because he gives just the great force to his role.
The music is inspired, the solutions - the case of witches - admirable animated by Kathryne Hunter is good example are the source of appreciation, in same measure.
Short, I admitt - it is a film who I love. For great use of cinematography, for solutions for details, for poetry of locations, for the wise reflection of each crumb of tension.
