First Thursday Films: “The Tragedy of Macbeth”
Partners: MSP Film & MN Historical Society
- This event has passed.
Based on the play by William Shakespeare, from writer/director Joel Coen, starring Denzel Washington, Frances McDormand, Corey Hawkins, Brendan Gleeson, and Harry Melling.
As ghastly witches prophesy that Macbeth, the Thane of Glamis, will soon become the King of Scotland, ambitious Lady Macbeth prompts her husband to act. So, to speed things up, conflicted Macbeth seizes the opportunity, and as blood stains his hands, the throne is his for the taking. However, murder is an unbearable burden, and before long, rabid paranoia blackens the conscience and imperils the sanity of the cursed couple. Now, only death awaits. Can a mere mortal escape fate?

These conversations at the Capri on the Northside are always thoughtful and rich. Plan to stay.
