Only when her sexual desires are aroused that she is able to break free from the imposed prison set up by the society and structure of the times.ĭirector is playful with the relationship between Catherine and her black maid. Catherine’s lover is flogged and locked up.
But the film is not without other prized set-ups.Ĭruelty prevails in the rich estate in rural England. The scene where this occurs when she makes her stance against her workers shirking their duties is one of the film’s best segments. Once her husband and father-in-law are away and she left alone, her true nature slowly emerges. One of the most satisfying things about the film is watching Catherine’s personality change from tied abused wife to Lady of the House to the ultimate devil. In LADY MACBETH, matters are made worse when sheįalls in love with one of her husband’s workers at the estate and the father-in-law finds out. The idea of mistreated wife, especially by her in-laws during an arranged marriage has always been favourite film fodder, (my fondest film on the subject being Deepa Metha’s HEAVEN ON EARTH). The affair that begins causes Catherine to take matters into her own hands for her own good. She is attracted to one of them, Sebastian (Cosmo Jarvis), and the next day deliberately encounters him on the land. One day she discovers Anna being suspended from the ground in an outhouse by the men who work on the land. One day both Boris and Alexander have to leave the estate for separate business matters, and Catherine is left alone with the housemaid, Anna (Naomi Ackie), and is free to explore the area to alleviate her boredom. As Alexander tells Catherine at one point in the film: “My father bought you along with the piece of land not fit for a cow to graze upon.”
Boris scolds Catherine for not carrying out her conjugal duties but Alexander (Paul Hilton) shows no physical interest in her. They live with Alexander’s father, Boris (Christopher Fairbank), and Catherine is forced to maintain a strict schedule and prevented from leaving the house. The setting is the year 1865 in rural England, when a young woman, Catherine (Florence Pugh), is in a loveless marriage to an older man, Alexander. It is a 2016 British drama film based on the novel “Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District” by Nikolai Leskov. LADY MACBETH is not based on the Shakespearean play. Stars: Florence Pugh, Christopher Fairbank, Cosmo Jarvis Writers: Nikolai Leskov (based on the novel by), Alice Birch (screenplay) Set in 19th century rural England, young bride who has been sold into marriage to a middle-aged man discovers an unstoppable desire within herself as she enters into an affair with a worker on her estate. “Macbeth” is set to be released by A24, but no release date has been confirmed.Deadlines to Submit your Screenplay, Novel, Story, or Poem to the festival:
They haven’t missed a collaboration together since their 1984 debut “Blood Simple.” It’s a conspicuous absence, most notably because they have always worked together (Joel is usually credited as the director, Ethan as the co-writer). No word yet on why brother Ethan is not part of the project. As for Orson Welles’ 1948 version, Joel believes that version is “compromised,” but didn’t go into greater detail as to why he believed that. When asked what his favorite Macbeth movie adaptation is, Joel mentioned Akira Kurosawa’s “ Throne of Blood”. She ended up playing Lady Macbeth in the stage production, her work impressing Joel so much that he had the idea of transferring her performance onto the screen. This is Joel’s first non-episodic film since 2016’s “ Hail Caesar.” It’s a peculiar project, to say the least, and -Joel admitted that he chose to do it because he had originally been asked by McDormand to direct a stage production of the play, which he ultimately declined. Joel Coen and Frances McDormand just did an Instagram live interview and spilled some beans about their upcoming Macbeth adaptation (sans Ethan) starring Denzel Washington, and McDormand herself.Ĭonfirming that the official title will be “ The Tragedy of Macbeth,” filming on the film, which Joel calls a “thriller,” had begun on February 10th and Coen confirmed that they were about 2/3 of the way done with the shoot before production shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.įor those of us wishing for a Coen-esque feature, expect disappointment since Joel admits that his adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic tale will be very faithful to the original text, with around “85% of the language” being kept for the film version.
