Macbeth
A Drama and TV Movie film released in 1971, Macbeth runs 1h and comes from Germany. Soap2Day lists it with Werner Schroeter directing and Anette Tirier and Magdalena Montezuma in the cast. It holds 7.3/10 from 3 votes. Fusing Shakespeare‘s tragedy with the Verdi opera, Schroeter's Macbeth is a fascinating television experiment shot entirely in a studio with several electronic cameras. As Schroeter would recall, "I arranged the Verdi music for a quartet of violin, accordion, piano and oboe, but modeled the rhythms on Argentinian tangos and boleros. The actors sang with horrifying, shrill voices.... The use of video allowed me to produce extraordinary colors.... Of all my films, Macbeth was most unwelcome: Audiences don’t like their Shakespeare to be presented in this way, but I do not differentiate between kitsch and culture...". - MoMA
