10 Best Movies From Cannes 2015

8. Macbeth

Screened: In Competition Release Date: 2nd October (UK)/Unannounced (US) What's The Story? Macbeth is told by three witches he can become King. Convinced by his wife to murder the current ruler, he does get the crown, but not without losing his sanity. WhatCulture Says: "In some corners, losing a single €œart thou€ from Shakespeare€™s plays is disrespectful, but Kurzel gets both the broader story and what his film in particular is honing in on so that any of the changes work. The Scottish play has been cut down to a two hour runtime where dialogue-less action scenes punctuate the verbal confrontations, and yet it feels like a fully complete narrative."
