Fassbender shines, but production is so-so...
“Macbeth” stars Michael Fassbender (“Steve Jobs,” “12 Years a Slave”) as Shakespeare’s tragic hero — the thane of Cawdor and would-be king. Loyal to King Duncan (David Thewlis), whose enemies are in striking distance of dethroning him, Macbeth has one final chance to turn the tide in favor of his liege. The decisive battle occurs both in real time and in slow motion and it is bloody, brutal, and intense. Macbeth distinguishes himself as a relentless warrior.<br /><br />After he dispatches the last of his foes, a trio of witches prophesies that Macbeth will be king. Unanswered are the how and why.<br /><br />Australian director Justin Kurzel opens with Macbeth and Lady Macbeth (Marion Cotillard) looking on sadly as their young child is laid to rest. This scene puts a different slant on Macbeth. He is no longer merely power hungry or easily swayed by his ambitious wife. Now, he is a man crippled by mourning and likely suffering from battle stress. This is not in the original, but provides Macbeth with another reason for the course of action he will pursue.<br /><br />Both Fassbender and Cotillard are excellent leads. The production itself is troublesome. Sometimes director Kurzel creates elaborate, visually strong sequences such as the opening battle scene. Other times, however, the scenes seen too muted and underplayed. The witches, for example, appear fairly tame, almost as if they were following a manual of polite behavior. This decision deprives what should be a great moment in the film of the proper dramatic emphasis. Lady Macbeth is portrayed more sympathetically than is customary, which humanizes her but dilutes her  thirst for power.<br /><br />Movie adaptations of “Macbeth” have been made by Orson Welles, Akira Kurosawa, Roman Polanski, and Trevor Nunn, among others. Kurzel’s version is about average. It’s frustrating that the actors deliver their lines under their breath or even in whispers. With Shakespearian language, we shouldn’t have to acclimate our ear to the Bard’s cadences and struggle to hear what’s being said.<br /><br />Bonus extras on the Blu-ray release include a making-of featuette and a Q & A with Michael Fassbender.
