From the Academy Award® winning producers Iain Canning and Emile Sherman of The King’s Speech and acclaimed Australian director Justin Kurzel comes a visually breathtaking interpretation of the Shakespearean classic, Macbeth. Set in a war torn landscape of craggy highlands and gray skies, this is a gritty tale of a ruthless Scottish lord (Michael Fassbender) who seizes the throne with the help of his ambitious wife (Marion Cotillard). Said to be one of the greatest adaptations of the famed Scottish play, scenes that are only described in speeches on stage are brought to life in the film. Cinema Art Theater, Lewes.
