A good movie

To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I’m a huge fan of Roman Polanski’s work, I was really eager to check it out. Basically, it was another rather obscure movie delivered by this great master and it was apparently barely seen when it was released. Eventually, the most striking thing about  this film was probably the rather distressful circumstances dur... read more

Polanksi at its best, bloody, provocative, la mise en scene of great phrases (love the withces 'something wicked this way comes'), Macbeth surviving lady Macbeth madness revitalizes him.

"10.9. Odotin Playboyn tuottaman Shakespeare-filmatisoinnin olevan paljon näkemääni roskaisempi esitys, mutta yllätyin erittäin positiivisesti saadessani äärimmäisen upean näköisen ritarielokuvan. Vaikka Polanskista olisi mitä mieltä ihmisenä, ei hänen lahjojaan ohjaajana käy kiistäminen. Vallanhimossaan murhakierteeseen ajautuvan pikkuhallitsijan nousu ja tuho on tarinana erinomainen, vaikka Shakespearen ylihehkutettu dialogi onkin aina ollut minulle kovan luokan turn off. Mac"
