Macbeth (out Oct 1) is known as being one of Shakespeare's darkest works and this adaptation from Australian director Justin Kurzel fits that same definition. The story has been told countless times before but the stunning visuals (which could be described as both bleak and beautiful) make it a film to remember. Those new to the tale may struggle with the Shakespearean dialogue. Grade: B+.
