THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH burns and bubbles with power and passion - a stark cinematic rendering of William Shakespeare's immortal work. Joel Coen richly imagines this bloody tale of hubris as a gothic fever dream where "fair is foul and foul is fair"- a monumental achievement, and one in which only titans as towering as Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand could stir the material from transcendent text into timelessness.
