The Tragedy of Macbeth review: Shadows and stars turn in Joel Coen’s bard noir

In no particular order, Joel Coen’s 105-minute “The Tragedy of Macbeth”—on Apple TV+—reminds me of German Expressionism, Film Noir, Gothic Horror, Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City (2005), Orson Welles’ 1948 adaptation of Macbeth, Denzel Washington’s performance in Training Day (2001), and Francis McDormand in The Coen Brothers Computational and tense roles in several of the films.

If you know your Macbeth and/or the movie, you will love this movie. But I’m not sure if the film transcended its origins and influence. Unlike the brave Indian Macbeth adaptation of Maqbool and Joji, or Akira Kurosawa’s Throne of Blood (1957) – a Noh-influenced Macbeth of a feudal Japanese setting – Macbeth’s madness was never in The Joel Cohen movie overflows the screen. It’s too detailed, researched, and overly stylized to really bother or intimidate you. The Tragedy of Macbeth is a complete experiment by a master cinematographer, and in those respects alone, it’s a great movie.

Ethan Cohen, who has written and directed 18 feature films for 34 years with his brother Joel, chose not to work on the project. Macbeth’s Tragedy was developed by Joel Cohen and his wife Francis McDormand, who played Lady Macbeth and one of the Weird Sisters in the 2016 stage adaptation. Bruno Delbonnel shot the film digitally in black and white at a 1:37:1 aspect ratio, the pre-widescreen standard for American sound films. Denzel Washington plays Macbeth and Mrs. Francis MacDorman Macbeth.

Tom Holland, last seen in Apple TV show The Crowded Room last year, has signed his next with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.

As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
