Кентерберийские рассказы
The Carpenter

Макбет
First Murderer
Роман Полански поставил противоречивую версию классической пьесы Шекспира о шотландском дворянине, которого погубило желание занять королевский трон. Это первый фильм режиссера после убийства его жены Шэрон Тэйт семьей Мэнсона. Насыщенный графическим насилием «Макбет» можно понять, как попытку изгнать демонов из собственной реальной жизни. В любом случае, возможно, это и не лучшая экранизация Шекспира, но определенно самое вдохновенное воссоздание холодного варварского духа тех времен. Грубость и кровавая жестокость на экране не самоцель или безответственность, а продуманная интерпретация, которая в меньшей степени поддается передаче обычными театральными приемами и техникой.
