We went to see the Fassbender Macbeth yesterday.

Wow, it was grim. Overwhelmingly and unremittingly grim. And the violence was hard to watch even though mostly they weren't showing more than blood sprays. Seeing Banquo's little boy witnessing his father's murder was particularly horrible. The cinematography is, on the other hand, beautiful if also somewhat overwhelming. As my hubby pointed out, it felt like every single shot had been thought out to the nth degree, with Oscars in mind. There were no 'ordinary' scenes, so after a while, it was like trying to eat a whole, very rich chocolate cake all at once.

Having said that - it was definitely worth seeing. Though I expect some folk might need subtitles for the more thick Scottish accents!
