One of the director's most personal creations, it's a courageous experiment with a craggy barbaric splendor all its own.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
a film that had an unfortunately deleterious effect on Welles's career, but can now be seen and appreciated as a unique, daring take on a familiar text that rendered it new and strange

Rating: 4/4 --
The graphic intensity of Orson Welles' black-and-white 1948 film of Macbeth, then, isn't merely for show, but a carefully considered symbolist staging for screen, meant to complement the Bard's immortal poetry.

Groucho Reviews
Visually, there are two or three fine rousing climaxes, but on the whole I found this effort disappointing -and, in spots, well-nigh ludicrous.

Rating: 5/5 --
An eccentric, iconoclastic consideration of Shakespeare's tragedy.

Adventurous film-making that takes risks, and full of imaginative flourishes.

Product Description:
A dark, moody screen version of the classic tragedy about a presumptuous Scottish prince's quest for power through patricide--in keeping with both the play's spirit and Welles' vision. As with his other masterpieces, Welles effectively mixes the use of shadow and oblique camera angles to achieve the ominous sense of a land in peril. Originally cut to 89 minutes for theatrical release, the film has been restored to its full 105 minutes, with dialogue redubbed by Welles and the other actors to cut down on the Scottish accents. Nominated for an award in the 1948 Venice Film Festival.
