It got middling reviews but I loved it - Bean brought a very masculine, soldier-like quality to the Scottish guy.<BR/><BR/>My favourite Shakespeare adaptation on film is Ian McKellen's <I>Richard III</I> (1995, directed by Richard Loncraine). It's set in a 1930s fascist Britain, which works beautifully. McKellen is just superb as Richard and has an awesome supporting cast. Kristen Scott Thomas is particularly good, as is Maggie Smith. It's well worth seeing. Much better than the Laurence Olivier version of 1955, which is hammed up beyond belief.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369834059345464401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-20711534362009223652007-04-26T19:43:00.000-04:002007-04-26T19:43:00.000-04:00I think Michelle Pffeifer (so sad my inability to ...I think Michelle Pffeifer (so sad my inability to spell) would make a great Lady M.

Am a fan of Macbeth, though I've often thought the theatre community (and film) should be banned from doing Shakespeare for at least a generation until we are ready to breathe some new life into the old boy's plays. For what it's worth - I'm a theatre scholar - tired to death of Shakes hero-worship. Though, as I write this, I must confess to really liking Branagh's Henry V - great film. <BR/><BR/>And Tilda Swinton as Lady MacBeth?? - that I want to see - well, maybe we can ban Shakes next generation.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your informative blog - I've been reading for awhile though never commented.VWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875869221696200724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-52339025658206254942007-04-23T22:53:00.000-04:002007-04-23T22:53:00.000-04:00Yes, you really should see more Kurosawa. His take...Yes, you really should see more Kurosawa. His take on MacBeth is not only his best work, but the best Shakespeare adaptation I've seen - including the Russian ones. I love Ran, but Throne of Blood is superior. it is really creepy and hieratic without that Calvin Klein Samurai that sometimes threats Ran's magnitude. <BR/><BR/>If you bother to see it, make a double Japanese-tragedy session and get Masaki Kobayashi's Samurai Rebellion. <BR/><BR/>Who would I cast in a Lady MacBeth adaptation?<BR/><BR/>In my opinion it'd be the ultimate challenge for Kate Winslet, her passport for best of all time pantheon of acting. I can see her doing a fantastic job with this part. Everytime she plays her bohemian roles, I can see a lingering and confrontational sense of daring - like she doesn't care about people when she has to reach her goals, understand? It is the same quality I see in Jane Fonda early turns, like They Shoot Horses and Klute. Anyway, anybody but Glenn Close's or Annette Bening's bad theatrics. So bad we haven't seen Jeanne Moreau - somebody with a real profound sense of evilness - in this role. <BR/><BR/>- cal rothAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-56014596896203895292007-04-23T22:52:00.000-04:002007-04-23T22:52:00.000-04:00There's also a very good adaptation of MACBETH mad...There's also a very good adaptation of MACBETH made by BBC with everybody's favourite James McAvoy as the main character (this is a very modernized version set in a restaurant!).<BR/><BR/>And talking about Oscar, ppl can say what they like about Cate & Judi& Fernanda losing to Gwyneth (which was preposterous indeed), but a raped Jodie Foster totally robbed Glenn Close.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-40198500347365352052007-04-23T22:26:00.000-04:002007-04-23T22:26:00.000-04:00macbeth, glenn, faith & the lovely laura - it's as...macbeth, glenn, faith & the lovely laura - it's as if you've got a list of my favourite things above your desk...par3182https://www.blogger.com/profile/03647653154201086767noreply@blogger.com
