Macbeth

Macbeth (2015) is a brutal Shakespeare adaptation you can watch online on iFILM. Director Justin Kurzel drags the Scottish play onto frozen battlefields and into smoke-choked war camps, with Michael Fassbender as the general who believes a prophecy about the crown.

On a misty heath, three witches promise Macbeth the throne. Goaded by his wife (Marion Cotillard), he murders King Duncan in his sleep — and the killing never stops there. Lady Macbeth unravels under guilt, old comrades turn into hunters, and sleep brings only visions of blood. The cast also features Paddy Considine, Sean Harris, David Thewlis and Elizabeth Debicki.

Kurzel shot mostly on location: fog, mud, slow-motion combat, and a closing duel staged against a forest set ablaze in deep red. The film opened the main competition at Cannes in 2015 and stays closer to Shakespeare's verse than most modern versions. Stream Macbeth (2015) online on iFILM.
