This is probably "Macbeth" as Shakespeare really saw it produced -- no fancy scenery, no elaborate sets, just stunning actors conveying everything Shakespeare intended to convey by the power of their own speech and actions.

There are some truly excellent performances here (duh), slowly building to an intense finale. But for better or worse, the bare stage, closeup-only direction and earnestness make you work for it. It's a Macbeth robbed of context, of a world to be set in, just floating in silent, empty, ink-black space. King of what?
