About the film:
A Scottish lord (Denzel Washington) becomes convinced by a trio of witches that he will become the next King of Scotland, and his ambitious wife (Frances McDormand) supports him in his plans to seize power. Joel Coen’s fierce tale of murder, madness, ambition, and wrathful cunning reimagines Shakespeare’s classic in brilliant black-and-white, reminiscent of Kurosawa and film noir, with a brilliant supporting cast.

“Compelling and visually brilliant … McDormand is Lady Macbeth, in a role she was born to play.” –Guardian
