My Rating : 7/10
Polanski is one of those auteurs that really 'gets' psychological trauma - be it 'Repulsion', 'Rosemary's Baby' or 'The Pianist' - his understanding and portrayal of horror, angst and shock is of the highest artistic order.
'The Tragedy of Macbeth' which was filmed after the Manson family murder of his wife is a brutal, angry and violent retelling of one of Shakespeare's most famous plays and it really shows from beginning to end.
A mad medieval play that feels accurate and with all the nastiness and brooding that only Polanski can do justice with. RECOMMENDED.
