Macbeth (2015 film)

Macbeth is given a Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings style makeover (think brooding mountainous landscapes, long flowing costumes, and lethagic voice-overs). Directed by Justin Kurzel, starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard. In New Zealand cinemas now.

Methought I heard a voice cry, "Sleep no more!
Macbeth does murder sleep," the innocent sleep,
Sleep that knits up the ravell'd sleave of care,
The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course,
Great nourisher in life's feast...
Still it cried "Sleep no more!" to all the house:
Glamis hath murder'd sleep, and therefore Cawdor
Shall sleep no more; Macbeth shall sleep no more.  
(Act 2 Scene 2)
