Movie Reviews of Macbeth (Fully Restored Version)
Movie Review: So Good!
Summary: 5 Stars
Briefly, I have not read the original "Macbeth". I have only a passing acquaintance with the trials (pun intended) and tribulations of Mr.Welles career.
As regards the actual dvd, to be honest the case looked cheap and that it is a Korean import sounded suspicious.
BUT - this is as nice a transfer as you could hope for and the film itself -
WOW!
I though I had seen all the Welles worth seeing and I have a disinterest in Shakespeare that lent itself to my avoiding procuring this film for a long time.
What a terrible error.
This is his best looking film - fans of early 1930s horror and David Lynch should take note (as odd as that sounds): it combines all the gothic bizarrity of "The Trial", "Mr. Arkadin", and "Touch of Evil" into an actual 'gothic' looking setting.
In a couple films like "The Lady From Shanghai" I have problem with Welles' over-the-top performance; though "MacBeth" is certainly over-the-top he is magnificient, sweaty, and fear clenched, down-right fun to watch. In fact, the whole film is fun like a Boris Karloff flick.
I hate to use such a clche', but 'visual treat' barely does this film justice, and that's speaking as a layman with a little taste.
Summary of Macbeth (Fully Restored Version)
In fog-dripping, barren and sometimes macabre settings, 11th-century Scottish nobleman Macbeth is led by an evil prophecy and his ruthless yet desirable wife to the treasonous act that makes him king. But he does not enjoy his newfound, dearly-won kingship... Restructured, but all the dialogue is Shakespeare's. Written by Rod Crawford *** IMPORTED FROM SOUTH KOREA *** ORIGINAL ENGLISH SOUNDTRACK *** This fully restored Macbeth the original version produced and directed by Orson Welles.Art House & International DVD Video
