    #NowWatching “The Tragedy of Macbeth” Which has quietly become a defining movie of the Trump era for me. (As distinct from a movie of the COVID era or the Biden era.) It’s a film that taps into the understanding that none of the terrible things happening now are even original.

    “The Tragedy of Macbeth” is, at its core and despite its style, a quintessential Coens film. It’s about a dude who isn’t as smart as he thinks he is, who feels entitled, making a play that ends up causing massive amounts of collateral damage and accomplishing nothing.

    My ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 review of THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH boxd.it/bt4xzv Stunning gorgeous b&w cinematography, shadowy noir vibe, stark expressionistic sets. Though terrific with text, though, Washington & McDormand are almost too-cool-for-school initially to transition to murder & madness so easily. #filmsky 📽

    “The Tragedy of Macbeth” is less angry or outraged than it is exhausted. The film knows that this sort of violence and greed - the threat of encroaching fascism - is nothing new. This is adapting a play from the 1620s in the cinematic language of the 1930s to speak to the 2020s.

Although I viewed only a few years ago, don't remember anything about it. And I love some Macbeth, usually! Denzel got Oscar nod. #filmsky 📽

    People tend to dismissive of the formalism on display in “The Tragedy of Macbeth”, but the embrace of German Expressionism - the cinematic language of a republic teetering on the edge of a fascist abyss - is central to what the movie is doing. It’s about then, and about now.

    Sorry, Cinematrix, but you can't count 'The Tragedy of Macbeth' as a "Coen Brothers Movie." That's only one Coen. Same goes for 'Drive-Away Dolls.'

    Joel Coen's THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH is about as close as we're likely to get to a modern German Weimar era film. I would not call it expressionist but it's strikingly visually similar to Fritz Lang's NIBELUNGEN saga.

    484.) The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) A damn good adaptation of the Scottish play with superlative blocking and production that gives the film a nice surrealist medieval feel. Also, really dug Denzel's portrayal of Macbeth as a man who uses his arrogance as a shield for his fear and madness.

    Boy, is "The Tragedy of Macbeth" a gorgeous film. Personally, I've always regarded "Macbeth" as the weakest of the "big four" Shakespearean tragedies as written but - perhaps because of that - it's long lent itself to beautiful cinematic adaptations. Is it his most consistently well-adapted play?

    To be fair, I really don't like Joel's The Tragedy of Macbeth either - I know it's a big hit with film audiences, but a lot of stage folks I know are befuddled by the love for it.

    Put on Joel Coen’s THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH, and it’s unfortunate that making a film of a 400 year old text and finding new purpose and reason to stage it isn’t respected for the accomplishment. Likely Shakespeare was stained for many by Kenneth Branagh in the ‘90s. This movie fucking rips.

    Next, The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021): Utterly beautiful—Bruno Delbonnel steals the show w/ the monochrome look of the film. Its commitment to mythic gravitas comes at the expense of emotionally intimacy. Is it deranged to read it as a veiled reflection on Joel’s hiatus from making movies with Ethan?

  • Wilson @wilsonjettone.bsky.socialBluesky · Oct 5, 2025

    The film is painterly and full of imagery out of mid-career Bergman. Coen and Delbonnel make The Tragedy of Macbeth look like a horror film, and the eerie haunted feel seeps into every scene. There is something of The Virgin Spring about The Tragedy of Macbeth.
