Co-presented by The Shakespeare Society
Directed by Roman Polanski | 1971

With Jon Finch, Francesca Annis, Martin Shaw, Nicholas Selby, John Stride

In 1979, acclaimed novelist Martin Amis conducted a scandalous interview with Roman Polanski—the first the director gave after running from the law. Made in the aftermath of the murder of his pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, Polanski's adaptation of Macbeth is an idiosyncratic adaptation "strong on youth, beauty, and inevitable gore" (Dave Kehr). Amis introduces this special screening with a 30-minute conversation about the film, the filmmaker, the play, and the Bard.
