Macbeth Movie
It's a contemporary interpretation of Shakespeare's play which is transported from medieval Scotland to modern-day Australia. Macbeth (Sam Worthington) is a cold-blooded assassin working for a powerful Melbourne crime lord, Duncan (Gary Sweet). A fateful encounter with three teenage witches (Chloe Armstrong, Kate Bell and Miranda Nation), who prophesy that he will soon assume power, stirs his ambition and arouses in him the determination to try to take total control over Duncan's gang. Encouraged by his heartless wife (Victoria Hill), Macbeth kills his boss, only to find that murder is not merely a step towards power but also leads to his own downfall and death.
