Makbet

1969 · 106 min

A stark, theatrical staging that feels claustrophobic and morally heavy, demanding patience as it probes the roots of evil.

Directed by: Andrzej Wajda
Genres: Tv movie, Drama
Starring: Tadeusz Łomnicki, Magdalena Zawadzka, Andrzej Łapicki

Overview: A staging of William Shakespeare's tragedy, directed in 1969 by Andrzej Wajda. The roles of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are played by Tadeusz Łomnicki and Magda Zawadzka - actors who at that time gained popularity in the series "Pan Wołodyjowski". This perverse use of the artists' images by the director was intended to serve an interpretation of the tragedy that emphasizes Shakespeare's question: where does evil in man come from?
