Denzel Washington takes on The Bard with the role of Lord Macbeth in “The Tragedy of Macbeth.” Washington’s subtle intensity comes across powerfully on the silver screen, or even on your tv screen, with a supporting cast that includes Frances McDormand as Lady Macbeth, Alex Hassell, Bertie Carvel, Harry Melling, Kathryn Hunter, Brandan Gleeson, Moses Ingram, Stephen Root, Richard Short, Sean Patrick Thomas, Ralph Ineson, and Jefferson Mays.
The cinematography by Bruno Delbonnel deserves mentioning, as it added greatly to the atmospherics of the film. He was one of two Oscar nominations including Best Cinematography and Best Production Design. Director Joel Coen handled his job well, and the screenplay also. He also co-produced with Frances McDormand and Robert Graf. Bill Shakespeare would no doubt be proud of the latest version of Macbeth, if he were alive to view the watchable “The Tragedy of Macbeth” distributed by Apple TV+.
