Hop Film: The Tragedy of Macbeth

Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand star in Joel Coen's bold and fierce adaptation; a tale of murder, madness, ambition and wrathful cunning.

Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center

Registration required. Fee required. Tickets required.

Emotions rage unchecked and time is running out in this propulsive, boldly cinematic adaptation. Shakespeare's thriller-prototype is stripped to its rawest psychological dimensions in this portrait of a powerful married couple who plunge into a last-chance crime with devastating consequences. Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand are a late middle-aged Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. They are older, warier, more urgently striving against a merciless clock as they seize together upon a final opportunity for power. Then, they unleash carnage. In the headlong spiral of chaos that follows, their hopes for one another unravel, terror mounts and regret enshrouds every inch of their wrecked world. D: Joel Coen, US, 2021
