American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].
【2022Movie02】麦克白的悲剧（2021）。莎士比亚的戏剧一直想看却没有看，从这部电影来看还是挺有趣的。⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
这摄影！绝了！今年摄影天花板吧！台词听着太费劲，但它美啊！
很稳的改编，摄影和音效设计尤其出彩。在寂静空荡、好似噩梦般的城堡里，每段声音似乎都被放大扭曲，也在听觉上促进了Macbeth的暴躁多疑。放映后和Joel + Frances的q&a记几个印象深刻的回答：黑白摄影是最容易将图像变得抽象的方法，以此从中达到一种极简；台词是最重要的，它的韵律感要和音效相辅相成。#nyff59
没觉得有什么大的突兀 其实反映出水平的相当不错了
本片前面看到的全都在影史早做到过的范围之内 但最后一镜的技术就远超前人条件了 真tm屌
表现主义&极简风格。
and then is heard no more。
古典悲剧的宿命捉弄借以极其冷峻和风格化的影像+声音风格被无限放大。看正片其实反而没有看trailer时那么惊喜，因为全片都是如此风格。但也太享受了，future classic.
本身气质过于质朴的科恩嫂演个一嘴“呀呀呀”的女警和杀人放火为女报仇的妈妈太贴切，但太不适合毒辣狠决的麦克白夫人了，且麦氏夫妇确实也是太老迈年高了。前半小时就在这种不断吐槽随时准备切换的心态中过去了，但后来还是坐定认真看完了，所有古堡中的场景，光影对比、建筑线条之美、人与建筑的关系与比例、色彩（精妙的黑白都五色炫目）、构图、音响⋯⋯所有这些手段，都太有古典美了！太迷人了！有点儿像看黑泽明二流作品的感觉，惊异于作者用心至此。但技术只是技术，所以不忍心三星，四星不能再多。
画面和风格很不错，但是情节方面可能只适合不怎么熟悉《麦克白》的观众。
卡司没有惊喜，出彩的是舞台化的场景和光影配合
几何带来视觉上的分割感和冲突矛盾感，在动车上看的，即使噪音很大，前半段麦克白与夫人的联手行刺还是把我看得心惊肉跳，偏向于动作呈现，后半段相较就少了推动力，之前犯下的罪恶使得后面的悲剧发生水到渠成。惯性与命运。怕啥来啥。
唉看到star hide your fire的台词还是忍不住想听roll away your stone，确实是我最喜欢的贵团歌了。对莎士比亚改编我的感想基本是又欺负文盲不识字，虽然科恩大哥这版算很通俗易懂了，但还是看得费劲
此处的黑白影像让我想到芬奇的《曼克》，太过于清晰了，以至于所谓的复古不过是套层滤镜，虽然实际处理肯定复杂多了。但这个经典到现在以至于“陈旧”的剧本，完全没有迸发出一点儿新鲜的气质。我越看越觉得，奥逊版好啊，黑泽版也好啊，你这科恩版我咋评价啊？当然你一部《麦克白》影视作品当然可以看科恩版，只是与我过高的预期相比，我看到的这装旧酒的瓶子也不咋新，还故意做了个复古包装。
7.5/10 「It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. 」剪輯與鏡頭表現補充細節，光影處理劇場感十足。
此刻观看体验是心跳加速血脉偾张......
高级的复古，舞台感十足，却不那么吸引人..
本片前面看到的全都在影史早做到过的范围之内 但最后一镜的技术就远超前人条件了 真tm屌
可以但没必要的创作。极简风加照搬原本 有着表现主义的装置 打光，整体还是缺少电影“纵深感”的舞台化。 最缺失的其实是对于人物动作的视听设计，除了固定镜头 只有傻傻的跟拍。 唯独的亮点是把麦克白内心的那把利刃 给合理的视觉化，达成双重隐喻 这才是独属电影的，可惜这样的设计太少。
科恩兄弟第一次分开指导的作品。哥哥的美学造诣没得说，但很难讲这是不是以牺牲了部分叙事达到的效果。原来的剧本足够经典，但这部电影依然很好的阐释了戏剧和电影并非矛盾冲突对立的关系。life but a walking shadow.
