The Tragedy of Macbeth
Coen and his team have created images it is impossible to banish from the memory. The diaphanous white fog, the cawing black birds, the witch who looks like a depraved Joan of Arc—it all has the entranced clarity of a nightmare.
Description
‘Coen very much approaches the material as the visual obsessive he is. The diaphanous white fog, the cawing black birds, the witch who looks like a depraved Joan of Arc—it all has the entranced clarity of a nightmare. The surprise, at least to me (and I say this as a true believer in the Coen brothers’ aesthetic, even though I only like about half their films), is how sensual and ingenious and expressive and enveloping the film’s images are.’—Owen Gleiberman, Variety
