After murdering King Duncan (David Thewlis) and seizing the throne, Macbeth (Fassbender) becomes consumed with guilt and paranoia as the tyrannical ruler of Scotland. Empire Magazine raves, Cannes Film Festival Official Selection MACBETH is "inspired, innovative, stunning, with unforgettable performances and images, this is up there with the great screen Shakespeares."
