Film history and significant releases [ edit ] The earliest known film Macbeth was 1905's American short Death Scene From Macbeth , and short versions were produced in Italy in 1909 and France in 1910. Two notable early versions are lost: Ludwig Landmann produced a 47-minute version in Germany in 1913, and D. W. Griffith produced a 1916 version in America featuring the noted stage actor Herbert Beerbohm Tree . [ 1 ] Tree is said to have had great difficulties adapting to the new medium, and especially in confining himself to the small number of lines in the (silent) screenplay, until an ingenious cameraman allowed him to play his entire part to an empty camera, after which a real camera shot the film. [ 2 ] Twentieth century [ edit ] In 1947, David Bradley produced an independent film of Macbeth , intended for distribution to schools, most notable for the designer of its eighty-three costumes: the soon-to-be-famous Charlton Heston . [ 3 ] Orson Welles and Jeanette Nolan as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth in Welles' 1948 film adaptation of the play. Orson Welles ' 1948 Macbeth , in the director's words a "violently sketched charcoal drawing of a great play", [ 4 ] was filmed in only 23 days and on a budget of just $700,000. These filming conditions allowed only a single abstract set, and eclectic costumes. Dialogue was pre-recorded, enabling the actors to perform very long individual takes, including one of over ten minutes surrounding the death of Duncan. [ 5 ] Welles himself played the central character, who dominates the film, measured both by his time on screen, and by physical presence: high-angle and low-angle shots and deep-focus close-ups are used to distort his size in comparison to other characters. [ 6 ] Welles retained from his own 1936 stage production the image of a Voodoo doll controlling the fate of the central character: and at the end it is the doll we see beheaded. [ 7 ] The film's allegorical aspect is heightened by Welles' introduction of a non-Shakespearean character, the Holy Father (played by Alan Napier ), [ 8 ] in opposition to the witches, speaking lines taken from Shakespeare's Ross, Angus and the Old Man. [ 9 ] Contemporary reviews were largely negative, particularly criticising Welles' unsympathetic portrayal of the central character. Newsweek commented: "His Macbeth is a static, two-dimensional creature as capable of evil in the first scene as in the final hours of his bloody reign." [ 10 ] George Schaefer directed Maurice Evans and Judith Anderson in a 1960 made-for-TV film which later had a limited European theatrical release. (The three had also worked together on the earlier Hallmark Hall of Fame 1954 TV version of the play .) [ 11 ] Neither of the central couple was able to adapt their stage acting style to the screen successfully, leading to their roles being described by critics as "recited" rather than "acted". [ 12 ] Roman Polanski 's 1971 Macbeth was the director's first film after the brutal murder of his wife, Sharon Tate , and reflected his determination to "show [ Macbeth ' s] violence the way it is ... [because] if you don't show it realistically then that's immoral and harmful." [ 13 ] His film showed deaths only reported in the play, including the execution of Cawdor, and Macbeth stabbing Duncan, [ 14 ] and its violence was "intense and incessant". [ 15 ] Made in the aftermath of Zeffirelli 's youthful Romeo and Juliet , and financed by Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner , Polanski's film featured a young sexy lead couple, played by Jon Finch (28) and by Francesca Annis (25), who controversially performed the sleepwalking scene nude. [ 16 ] The unsettling film score, provided by the Third Ear Band , invoked "discord and dissonance". [ 17 ] While using Shakespeare's words, Polanski alters aspects of Shakespeare's story, turning the minor character Ross into a ruthless Machiavellian, [ 18 ] and adding an epilogue to the play in which Donalbain (younger son of Duncan) arrives at the witches' lair, indicating that the cycle of violence will begin again. [ 19 ] In 1973, the Virginia Museum Theater (VMT, now the Leslie Cheek Theater ), presented Macbeth, starring E.G. Marshall . Dubbed by the New York Times as the "'Fowler' Macbeth" after director Keith Fowler , it was described by Clive Barnes as "splendidly vigorous, forcefully immediate... probably the goriest Shakespearean production I have seen since Peter Brook's 'Titus Andronicus'." [ 20 ] Trevor Nunn 's RSC Other Place stage performance starring Ian McKellen and Judi Dench as the leading couple was adapted for TV and broadcast by Thames Television (see Macbeth (1978 film) ). [ 21 ] In 1992 S4C produced a cel-animated Macbeth for the series Shakespeare: The Animated Tales , [ 22 ] and in 1997 Jeremy Freeston directed Jason Connery and Helen Baxendale in a low budget, fairly full-text, version. [ 23 ] In Shakespeare's script, the actor playing Banquo must enter the stage as a ghost. The major film versions have usually taken the opportunity to provide a double perspective: Banquo visible to the audience from Macbeth's perspective, but invisible from the perspective of other characters. Television versions, however, have often taken the third approach of leaving Banquo invisible to viewers, thereby portraying Banquo's ghost as merely Macbeth's delusion. This approach is taken in the 1978 Thames TV production, Jack Gold 's 1983 version for BBC Television Shakespeare , and in Penny Woolcock 's 1997 Macbeth on the Estate . [ 24 ] Macbeth on the Estate largely dispensed with the supernatural in favour of the drug-crime driven realism of characters living on a Birmingham housing estate: except for the three "weird" (in the modern sense of the word) children who prophesy Macbeth's fate. [ 24 ] This production used Shakespeare's language, but encouraged the actors – many of whom were locals, not professionals – to speak it naturalistically. [ 25 ] Twenty-first century [ edit ] Twenty-first-century cinema has re-interpreted Macbeth , relocating "Scotland" elsewhere: Maqbool to Mumbai, Scotland, PA to Pennsylvania, Geoffrey Wright 's Macbeth to Melbourne, and Allison L. LiCalsi's 2001 Macbeth: The Comedy to a location only differentiated from the reality of New Jersey, where it was filmed, through signifiers such as tartan, Scottish flags and bagpipes. [ 26 ] Alexander Abela 's 2001 Makibefo was set among, and starred, residents of Faux Cap , a remote fishing community in Madagascar. [ 27 ] Leonardo Henriquez ' 2000 Sangrador (in English: Bleeder ) set the story among Venezuelan bandits and presented a shockingly visualised horror version. [ 28 ] In 2004 an "eccentric" Swedish/Norwegian film, based on Alex Scherpf 's Ice Globe Theatre production of Macbeth , was said by critic Daniel Rosenthal to owe "more to co-director Bo Landin 's background in natural history documentaries than to Shakespeare." [ 29 ] More conventional adaptations of 21st-century stage productions to television include Greg Doran 's RSC production filmed in 2001 with Antony Sher and Harriet Walter in the central roles, [ 30 ] and Rupert Goold 's Chichester Festival Theatre Macbeth televised in 2010 with Patrick Stewart and Kate Fleetwood as the tragic couple. The cast of the latter felt that the history of their stage performance (moving from a small space at Chichester to a large proscenium arch stage in London to a huge auditorium in Brooklyn) made it easier for them to "re-scale", yet again, their performances for the cameras. [ 31 ] In 2006, Geoffrey Wright directed a Shakespearean-language, extremely violent Macbeth set in the Melbourne underworld. Sam Worthington played Macbeth. Victoria Hill played Lady Macbeth and shared the screenplay credits with Wright. [ 32 ] The director considered her portrayal of Lady Macbeth to be the most sympathetic he had ever seen. [ 33 ] In spite of the high level of violence and nudity (Macbeth has sex with the three naked schoolgirl witches as they prophesy his fate), intended to appeal to the young audiences that had flocked to Romeo + Juliet , the film flopped at the box office. [ 34 ] Justin Kurzel 's feature-length adaptation Macbeth , starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard , was released in October 2015. Also in 2015, Brazilian film A Floresta que se Move ( The Moving Forest ) premiered at the Montreal World Film Festival . [ 35 ] Directed by Vinícius Coimbra and starred by Gabriel Braga Nunes and Ana Paula Arósio , the film uses a modern-day setting, replacing the throne of Scotland with the presidency of a high-ranked bank. [ 36 ] [ 37 ] [ 38 ] Denzel Washington was nominated to an Academy Award for his performance in the title role of Joel Coen 's The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021). Adaptations [ edit ] Main article: Cultural references to Macbeth Joe MacBeth ( Ken Hughes , 1955) established the tradition of resetting the Macbeth story among 20th-century gangsters. [ 39 ] Others to do so include Men of Respect (William Reilly, 1991), [ 40 ] Maqbool ( Vishal Bhardwaj , 2003) [ 41 ] and Geoffrey Wright 's Australian 2006 Macbeth . [ 42 ] In 1957, Akira Kurosawa used the Macbeth story as the basis for the "universally acclaimed" [ 43 ] Kumunosu-jo (in English known as Throne of Blood or (the literal translation of its title) Spiderweb Castle ). [ 44 ] The film is a Japanese period-piece ( jidai-geki ), drawing upon elements of Noh theatre , especially in its depiction of the evil spirit who takes the part of Shakespeare's witches, and of Asaji, the Lady Macbeth character, played by Isuzu Yamada , [ 45 ] and upon Kabuki Theatre in its depiction of Washizu, the Macbeth character, played by Toshiro Mifune . [ 46 ] In a twist on Shakespeare's ending, the tyrant (having witnessed Spiderweb Forest come to Spiderweb Castle) is killed by volleys of arrows from his own archers after they come to the realization he also lied about the identity of their former master's murderer. [ 47 ] William Reilly's 1991 Men of Respect , another film to set the Macbeth story among gangsters, has been praised for its accuracy in depicting Mafia rituals, said to be more authentic than those in The Godfather or GoodFellas . However the film failed to please audiences or critics: Leonard Maltin found it "pretentious" and "unintentionally comic" and Daniel Rosenthal describes it as "providing the most risible chunks of modernised Shakespeare in screen history." [ 48 ] Billy Morrissette 's Scotland, PA reframes the Macbeth story as a comedy-thriller set in a 1975 fast-food restaurant, and features James LeGros in the Macbeth role and Maura Tierney as Pat, the Lady Macbeth character: "We're not bad people, Mac. We're just under-achievers who have to make up for lost time." Christopher Walken plays vegetarian detective Ernie McDuff who (in the words of Daniel Rosenthal) "[applies] his uniquely offbeat menacing delivery to innocuous lines." [ 49 ] Scotland, PA ' s conceit of resetting the Macbeth story at a restaurant was followed in BBC Television 's 2005 ShakespeaRe-Told adaptation. [ 50 ] Vishal Bhardwaj 's 2003 Maqbool , filmed in Hindi and Urdu and set in the Mumbai underworld , was produced in the Bollywood tradition, but heavily influenced by Macbeth , by Francis Ford Coppola 's 1972 The Godfather and by Luc Besson 's 1994 Léon . [ 51 ] It deviates from the Macbeth story in making the Macbeth character (Miyan Maqbool, played by Irfan Khan ) a single man, lusting after the mistress (Nimmi, played by Tabbu ) of the Duncan character (Jahangir Khan, known as Abbaji, played by Pankaj Kapoor ). [ 41 ] Another deviation is the comparative delay in the murder: Shakespeare's protagonists murder Duncan early in the play, but more than half of the film has passed by the time Nimmi and Miyan kill Abbaji. [ 52 ] The 2011 short film Born Villain , directed by Shia LaBeouf and starring Marilyn Manson , was inspired by Macbeth and features multiple scenes where characters quote from it. In 2014, Classic Alice wove a 10 episode arc placing its characters in the world of Macbeth. The adaptation uses students and a modern-day setting to loosely parallel Shakespeare's play. It starred Kate Hackett , Chris O'Brien , Elise Cantu and Tony Noto and embarked on an LGBTQ plotline. The 2015 American black and white film, Thane of East County , features actors in a production of Macbeth who mimic the characters they portray. [ 53 ] The 2021 Malayalam-language film Joji directed by Dileesh Pothan is a loose adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth . [ 54 ] The 2021 Bengali web-series Mandaar on Hoichoi, directed by Anirban Bhattacharya and starring Debasish Mondal and Sohini Sarkar , is a loose adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth .

Mayaa (India, 2023) [ 104 ] Raajhorshee De, director Theatrical performances within films [ edit ] Another way in which filmmakers use Shakespearean texts is to feature characters who are actors performing those texts, within a wider non-Shakespearean story. In Opera , the 1987 Italian giallo horror film written and directed by Dario Argento and starring Cristina Marsillach , Urbano Barberini , and Ian Charleson ; young opera singer Betty (Marsillach) is reluctantly thrust into the lead role in Verdi's Macbeth . During her first performance, a murder takes place in one of the opera boxes. Mysterious murders continue throughout the film as Betty is stalked and those around her meet their unfortunate end. During the final performance of the opera, the killer is revealed, and Betty must confront her past in a terrifying climax. In Thane of East County , a 2015 American black and white film , actors in a production of Macbeth mirror the actions of the characters they portray.
